Abstract
The primary objective of this dissertation was to assess the influence of the
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on Brazilian legislation concerning
data protection, specifically the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD). Through
a comparative analysis, this research examined the key elements of both regulatory
frameworks, highlighting their similarities and differences. Employing historical,
doctrinal, and comparative methodologies, the study uncovered that the GDPR
significantly shaped the development of the LGPD, serving as a foundational
model for Brazil’s approach to data protection. However, it also demonstrated that
the LGPD incorporated specific adaptations to align with the realities of Brazilian
society and legal culture. These adaptations ensured that the LGPD addressed
unique national concerns while striving to meet international standards for data
protection. The findings contributed to the understanding of how global regulatory
frameworks can influence local legislation, shedding light on the complexities of
implementing data protection laws in diverse sociocultural contexts.
