Brazil: National Data Protection Authority announced regulatory and supervisory measures for implementing Law No. 15.211/2025

On 14 October 2025, the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD) outlined regulatory and supervisory measures for implementing Law No. 15.211/2025, the Digital Child and Adolescent Statute (Digital ECA). The ANPD detailed that the Digital ECA complements the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) by introducing obligations for digital service providers, including age verification mechanisms, parental supervision tools, content blocking measures, prohibitions on abusive targeted advertising, and the requirement to design digital products and services with age-appropriate security and privacy standards. Pursuant to Decree No. 12.622/2025, the ANPD was formally assigned as the competent authority for supervising and regulating the Digital ECA. It announced a Priority Action Plan consisting of 25 initiatives, such as revising the regulatory agenda, updating inspection and dosimetry regulations, and preparing a public explanatory guide. The ANPD confirmed that active monitoring of large digital platforms will commence before the law’s entry into force in March 2026.
