LGPD and AI Agents in Brazil: ANPD Enforcement Is Active and Growing
· 4 min read
Brazil's LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados) came into force in September 2020. After a grace period, ANPD (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados) began issuing enforcement actions in 2023. The fines are real, the investigations are real, and the pattern of enforcement is becoming clear.
If your AI agents process personal data of Brazilian residents — including purchasing behavior, CPF numbers, location data, or any other information that identifies an individual — LGPD applies regardless of where your company is headquartered.
