The National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) (Brazil's National Data Protection Authority) received on June 17, 2025 a document prepared by the National Data Protection Council (CNPD) (Brazil's National Data Protection Council) containing subsidies for the development of the National Personal Data Protection and Privacy Policy guidelines. The handover took place at the headquarters of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), with the participation of ANPD's Director-President and other representatives from both institutions.

The event was attended by the Director-President of the ANPD, the Vice-President of the CNPD, and the President of the Council and Secretary of Digital Rights at the MJSP, who participated remotely. Also present were other representatives from both institutions and council members from the Working Groups responsible for drafting the subsidies.

For the Director-President of the ANPD, the initiative represents more than a set of technical recommendations — it is an expression of democratic plurality and active societal participation in shaping the guidelines. He described the document as a milestone in the institutional maturity of Brazil's data protection ecosystem.

The preparation of these subsidies is provided for in the LGPD (Brazil's General Data Protection Law), which stipulates in Article 55-J that it is the ANPD's responsibility to develop guidelines for the National Personal Data Protection and Privacy Policy, while Article 58-B establishes that the Council is tasked with proposing strategic guidelines and providing subsidies for this purpose. The work was carried out by six Working Groups covering topics such as education and capacity building, compliance mechanisms, data governance, economic and technological development, open data, and internal rules of procedure.
