Intersection between Compliance Programs and Privacy: Examining Data Protection under the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) in Corporate Organizations

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to answer the following question: Is there an intersection between compliance programs and the privacy sought through the General Data Protection Law (LGPD)? To achieve this, the main legal aspects that directly relate to compliance programs and need to be observed for the effective implementation of data protection under Brazilian legislation within a corporate organization will be outlined. Thus, a deductive method will be used through bibliographic analysis. It is concluded that considering that compliance programs are the means by which a company communicates its ethical guidelines to the entire organization, they should include these legislative parameters in their policies and projects.
