This Thursday, April 30, the Brazilian Data Protection Agency (ANPD) launched a Call for Contributions regarding the draft Guidelines on IT Products and Service Providers: scope and general obligations under the ECA Digital. The call will remain open until June 15.

The initiative is part of the regulatory agenda for the implementation of Statute #15,211/2025 (the Digital ECA), which establishes a comprehensive framework for the protection of children and adolescents in the digital environment and appoints the ANPD as the competent authority to issue complementary guidelines and oversee enforcement.

The draft Guideline aims to clarify core concepts and legal definitions that define the scope of application of the Digital ECA, with a particular focus on identifying which entities qualify as “providers of information technology products or services” subject to the statute.
