ANPD Opens Reporting Channel For The Digital ECA

The Brazilian Data Protection Agency (ANPD) has launched a dedicated channel on its official website to receive reports of non-compliance with the Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (Digital ECA). The initiative aims to facilitate the reporting of irregularities that affect the protection of children and adolescents in digital environments, giving concrete form to the implementation and oversight phase of the new regulatory framework.

The new channel handles reports of administrative violations related to the Digital ECA, including, among other issues, failures in age verification mechanisms, lack of parental controls, insufficient security measures, absence of privacy by default, and disproportionate collection of children’s and adolescents’ data. The ANPD stated that reports must be specific and clearly identify the company or platform involved. They may be submitted anonymously, provided they include the minimum elements needed for verification.
