Decision in principle regarding the adequacy of data protection in Brazil: The European Data Protection Board has adopted an opinion.

Brussels, November 5th - During its latest plenary meeting, the European Data Protection Board (EDPB) issued an opinion on the draft decision by the European Commission regarding the adequate level of protection for personal data in Brazil.* Once this decision is adopted, it will ensure that personal data can be freely transferred from Europe to Brazil, while individuals retain control over their data. In this opinion, at the request of the Commission, the EDPB assesses whether the Brazilian data protection framework and the rules regarding government access to personal data transferred from Europe provide sufficient guarantees that are essentially equivalent to those in EU law. The EDPB notes positively that there is a strong alignment with EU law and the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The EDPB also examines whether the safeguards enshrined in the legal framework in Brazil are actually in place and effectively functioning. "The EDPB welcomes the alignment between the data protection frameworks of Brazil and Europe. This is an important step that will strengthen legal certainty for organizations."
