ANPD publishes its Institutional Plan for Educational Actions, with measures to disseminate data protection knowledge in Brazil

The Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) published (01/17) its Institutional Plan of Educational Actions 2023/2024. The document includes 25 activities, some of which have been underway since 2023, which aim to promote a culture of personal data protection in Brazil, as well as disseminating knowledge about the existing rules and public policies in the area. The educational actions are divided into communication/dissemination, guidance/clarification and instruction.

Firstly, on the subject of data subjects’ rights, the Plan notes that, in 2023, the ANPD produced and disseminated content on the processing of children’s and adolescents’ data, on cookies and personal data protection, among others. For 2024, in this area, actions are planned for the elderly, children and adolescents and the dissemination of content on the regulation of data subjects’ rights under the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), as well as a partnership with the Ministry of Education to develop teaching material on data protection and privacy.

In the field of data processing, it is worth highlighting the release of the guidance document on the Regulation on the Communication of Security Incidents involving Personal Data and, this year, the production of guidance content on the large-scale processing guide.

On the subject of data processing by public authorities, the National School of Public Administration (ENAP) is producing and updating content on the LGPD to train public servants on the subject. In addition, a webinar is planned in partnership with the Brazilian Micro and Small Business Support Service (Sebrae) on data sharing by public authorities, aimed at civil servants.

Finally, on the topic of institutional governance, the ANPD has more projects such as the creation of a specific page on the Authority’s website for data subjects; the holding of an event to award the Monograph Competition – Danilo Doneda Award; the ANPD’s participation in more seminars on data protection and the preparation of explanatory material containing basic information on how the ANPD’s inspection process takes place.
