Founded in 2018, Data Privacy Brasil Ensino emerges as a space to disseminate and innovate in knowledge about privacy and data protection in the country. In an increasingly data-oriented society, topics such as the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), privacy, data protection, regulation, new technologies, and design for privacy, gain even more importance. If, on the one hand, privacy and data protection are fundamental parts within this new technological ecosystem in which we live, on the other hand, we are not limited to them. In addition to the correlations between all these subjects, we remain attentive to technological innovations and the areas around them – which are gaining more and more strength and ground.
Over three years, more than 4,000 students from different fields and regions of the country passed through Data’s classrooms. Since 2020, all courses are 100% digital, in EAD format or live online. With content adapted to a more practical language, with exercises and case studies, this is a school for all those who are interested and want to delve deeper into the rich themes of privacy, data protection and new technologies.
The Associação de Pesquisa Data Privacy Brasil was created as an institute focused on research and advocacy. Based on an Ethical Financing Policy, the association develops strategic research projects in the protection of personal data, mobilizing knowledge that can help regulators, judges and legal and privacy professionals to deal with complex issues that require in-depth knowledge of how systems technical partners that affect fundamental rights. The association is a non-profit civil society organization.
Mission
Inform, disseminate and innovate knowledge on privacy, data protection and new technologies.
Vision
Become the main center of reference in privacy, data protection and new technologies in Brazil.
Values
Theoretical and practical knowledge: complete learning needs to have an approach that combines theoretical and practical knowledge. We prepare our students to design innovative solutions and projects in an economy and society driven by data.
Student as protagonist: in our classes, the student is the protagonist and collaborator in the production of knowledge and, in the end, will have full autonomy to apply it in their respective activities.
Excellence content: without hiding the game. That’s our mantra. Commitment to presenting state-of-the-art case discussions, theories and approaches in privacy and personal data protection.
Accessible language: neither legalese nor technicalese. The vocabulary of the courses is democratic to allow access to professionals with the most different backgrounds and distinct profiles.
