Impacts of the implementation of the General Law for the protection of personal data in brazil: a bibliometric analysis
Resumen
With the creation of the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data (LGPD) in 2018 and effective from August 2020, privacy in Brazil has begun to be regulated. Organizations operating in Brazil, national and international, in order to avoid regulatory sanctions and drive customer growth, need to adopt best practices to develop and maintain an effective privacy and data protection management program and thus avoid the anticipated penalties and fines. The topic is very current in Brazil as it deals mainly with privacy issues and the use of personal data for specific purposes. Today, data protection is a fundamental right of the citizen. Given the impact and importance of the new law in Brazil, this article seeks to analyze academic publications to present a current overview. The methodology applied was a bibliometric analysis, evaluating the scientific productions present in the Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO and Portal de Periodicos Capes databases. The key words used were “LGPD”, “LGPDP” and “Lei Geral de Protecao de Dados” and the main search criteria was to consider peer-reviewed publications. The results obtained showed that despite being recent, the theme is already highlighted in the academic literature, with 91 publications from 235 authors identified in 61 scientific journals, addressing mainly the areas of law, technology and health.
