Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties

Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties

The current LFPDPPP was published on 20 March 2025 and replaced the 2010 statute. The consolidated Chamber of Deputies text incorporates the reform published on 14 November 2025. The 2011 regulation continues to supply operational detail.

Core duties

Processing: Articles 5–13 require legality, purpose limitation, fairness, consent, quality, proportionality, information and accountability. Sensitive-data processing normally needs express written consent and minimum necessary duration.

Transparency and rights: Articles 14–17 govern privacy notices. Articles 21–34 establish access, rectification, cancellation and objection (ARCO), including a 20-day decision period and, where granted, implementation within the next 15 days.

Security and transfers: Articles 18–20 require administrative, technical and physical safeguards, immediate notice of materially harmful breaches, and confidentiality. Articles 35–36 govern transfers. The regulation adds processor-contract, security-document, audit, retention and cloud-service requirements.
