ANPD Issues Guidelines On The Publication Of Transparency Reports

This Tuesday, August 11, through a decision published in the Federal Register, the Brazilian Data Protection Agency (ANPD) has issued guidelines regarding the publication of transparency reports required under the Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (the Digital ECA). This obligation applies to providers of internet applications directed at or likely to be accessed by children and adolescents with over one million registered users under the age of 18.

In the decision, the ANPD clarified that the obligation to publish the reports took effect upon the entry into force of the Digital ECA on March 17, 2026. Accordingly, the first report must be published by September 17, 2026. 

As a general rule, the first report must cover the period from January 1 to June 30, 2026. However, platforms that do not have systematized data for January and February 2026 may limit the scope of the initial report to the period from March 17 to June 30, 2026.
