The GDPR
For those who have not been following, GDPR is the new and restrictive European regulation, which deals with the collection, processing and storage of data from any citizen of the European Community. In force since May 25, the regulation will impact companies around the world that do business with European customers or even deal with a European citizen.
With 99 articles, the new legislation sets heavy fines for companies that break the rules: up to 20 million euros or 4% of annual worldwide turnover. Camargo mentions article 27, which says that even foreign companies that process some data from European citizens, even outside Europe, have to fit in.
It's good to keep an eye out. Among many other provisions, the regulation limits the storage of information by companies, according to the purpose for which they are intended and includes the principle of proactive responsibility, which explains the duty of companies to answer for the data they store. In the same vein comes the creation of the role of DPO – Data Protection Officer or EPD – Data Protection Officer. European estimates predict the opening of 78 thousand vacancies in data protection and compliance, in Europe alone. “Nobody is ready for GDPR yet,” says Camargo.
Here, the Chamber of Deputies recently (May 29) approved Bill 4060/12, by deputy Milton Monti (PR-SP), which regulates the use of personal data, both by public authorities and the private sector. The matter had been debated for two years and had its vote accelerated after European legislation came into force. The law will now be reviewed in the Senate.
