Sub-modules (6)

Cookies And TrackersAmber

ANPD has published a Guide on Cookies and Data Protection referenced in the EU's adequacy assessment, but this is soft-law guidance rather than a binding ePrivacy-style cookie consent statute.

Claims (1):

  • ANPD has issued a Guide on Cookies and Data Protection, referenced as an official ANPD guidance document in the European Commission's Brazil adequacy assessment.

Dark PatternsRed

No Brazil-specific dark-pattern prohibition distinct from general LGPD transparency/consent principles was identified in this research pass.

Opt Out SignalsRed

No evidence was found of Brazil recognising standardized opt-out signals (e.g., Global Privacy Control) analogous to US state regimes.

Clean Rooms And DcrRed

No clean-room or data-collaboration-room-specific guidance was identified for Brazil in this research pass.

Cross Context AdvertisingAmber

ANPD ordered Meta to suspend processing of personal data for AI-model training under penalty of a daily fine of BRL50,000; the order was later suspended conditional on Meta's compliance with a monitored plan facilitating the right to object.

Claims (2):

  • The ANPD ordered Meta to suspend the processing of personal data for AI training, under penalty of a daily fine of BRL 50,000.
  • The Meta suspension order was lifted conditional on compliance with a plan monitored by ANPD, including facilitating the exercise of the right to object.

Direct MarketingRed

No Brazil-specific direct-marketing suppression/consent regime distinct from general LGPD consent and objection rights was identified in this research pass.

Category narrative80 words

Commercial/adtech-specific DP rules in Brazil remain comparatively underdeveloped relative to cookie/consent regimes seen in the EU or certain US states. The clearest enforcement data point is ANPD's order suspending Meta's processing of personal data for AI-model training (subject to a daily fine), conditioned on facilitating the right to object. ANPD has referenced a Guide on Cookies and Data Protection, but dark-pattern-specific prohibitions, opt-out signal recognition (e.g., GPC), clean-room/data-collaboration rules, and direct-marketing-specific suppression regimes were not located in this research pass.

No new data since the standing brief. 1 periodic run re-emitted it unchanged.
