Resumo

International data transfer mechanisms have become a key instrument both for the adequate protection of data subjects rights and for the development of the digital economy and international trade. Given the urgent need to regulate such mechanisms, ANPD plans to issue the regulation in stages. The first stage will have as scope the contractual instruments for international transfers of personal data, under  article 33, II, (a), (b), and (c), of the LGPD, which are the standard contractual clauses, the specific contractual clauses, and the binding corporate rules. 

To facilitate the understanding of the questions, consider “exporter” as the processing agent located in Brazil who will transfer the personal data to an importer situated in another country and “importer” as the processing agent located outside the national territory who will receive such data from the exporter. 

ANPD welcomes contributions to any of the questions below, as it is not mandatory to prepare answers to all the questions listed below.

With this consultation, the ANPD begins compliance with item 9 of the Authority`s 2021-2022 biannual regulatory agenda, approved by Ordinance No. 11, on January 27th, 2021, which deals with the regulation of the international transfer of personal data.

To share reports, images or other attachments, please send a mail to normatizacao@anpd.gov.br during the period of Consultation. By e-mail it will be only accepted complementary attachments. Answers to questions will not be accepted by email.
