Latest development

Brazil's ANPD pushes LGPD interoperability at the Privacy Symposium

Key takeaways

  • Privacy-law diffusion is now showing up in operating rules, not just new statutes, as regulators move into tools, sector guidance, and platform conduct controls.

  • Cross-border interoperability has become the live policy question, with Brazil, South Korea, and China each adapting GDPR-era ideas to different legal and economic priorities.
