In their Law360 [PDF] article “What Brazil’s Adequacy Status Will Mean for EU Data Flow,” Paris partners Ahmed Baladi and Vera Lukic and associate Hermine Hubert examine the European Commission’s decision to formally recognize Brazil as providing an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the European Union — status that positions Brazil as a major gateway for EU-Latin America data flows. The authors also address the key findings underlying the commission’s assessment, compare Brazil’s position with other recognized jurisdictions, both within Latin America and beyond, and provide practical guidance for organizations navigating international data transfers in light of these developments.
