The Brazilian Data Protection Authority (Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados, “ANPD”), applied its first two sanctions of 2024 against two Brazilian governmental institutions. It is worth noting that, as both are public bodies, neither entity is subject to fines.

First Sanction

In the first case, the ANPD found that a 2021 security breach improperly exposed the contents of a public school program made by the governmental institution in question, including the registration information and health data of 3,030 minors and their guardians. According to the ANPD, human error contributed to the improper access of the program's participants' data by unauthorized parties.
