As implicações da constitucionalização da proteção de dados pessoais como direito fundamental no Brasil: um estudo comparado com o regime de proteção de dados adotado pela União Europeia

Abstract

The new information era we live in brings the necessity to craft ways to protect the citizen, in this context of use and processing of personal data. In the intent of making this protection effective, the European Union not only sanctioned the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) but also recognized it as a fundamental right of its citizens. In Brazil, the General Law of Data Protection (LGPD) is already a reality. Therefore, it is clear that the country is moving towards establishing a culture of data protection ever stronger and effective. The next step would be recognizing data protection as a constitutional fundamental right. This paper seeks to analyze this prerogative through a comparison of European Union`s laws and Brazil`s.
