Brazil's proposed data privacy legislation, which recently received fast-track status, has provisions including one that would restrict cross-border transfers of data to countries that have not been deemed to provide adequate consumer protections, unless users specifically give consent and are given warnings about the risks involved. How well would the legislation protect Brazilians' privacy? Does it go far enough or does it reach too far? How would it affect businesses operating in the South American country? How does the measure compare to similar efforts to establish data privacy frameworks in the European Union, United States and other parts of the world?
FRA's Michael Malarkey, partner, and Carlo Miani, associate, discuss in the Latin America Advisor.
