Brazil enacted Decree 10,474 on 26 August 2020, formally creating the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD). The decree defines the ANPD’s organizational structure, advisory board, and competencies to regulate and enforce the LGPD, anchoring Brazil’s data protection governance weeks before the law’s significant provisions took effect. By detailing director roles, the National Council for Data Protection and Privacy (CNPD), and regulatory powers, the decree transformed LGPD obligations into an enforceable regime.
