[导读:当地时间2018年7月10日下午,巴西参议院通过了个人数据保护法案。此项法案分为十章,共计65个条文,意在建立起一个保护国内个人数据的体系。这项法案生效以后,巴西联邦政府将建立一个新机构对相关领域进行管理。同时,在个人权益方面,用户群体将有权要求互联网服务提供者更正或排除其在运营过程中所收集的个人信息,并有权访问此类数据。该法案此前已经在国民议会和参议院经济事务委员会获得通过,接下来将由巴西总统米歇尔•特梅尔签署并生效。]

The Brazilian senate has given up on its data protection bill to embrace the more advanced and more consensual bill approved by the lower house.

The bills were the subject of a public hearing on Tuesday. The rapporteur of the senate bill, senator Ricardo Ferraço, announced that the lower house text would be prioritized after calls from representatives of the academic, industrial, services, retail and consumer protection sectors.

At the end of May, the lower house passed a bill regulating the handling of citizens' personal data by the public sector and private entities and the text was due to be discussed and voted on by the senate.

Ferraço said he would work to have the bill passed by the senate economic affairs committee next week so it could be put to a vote by the full house before the parliamentary recess in July.

The lower house text is backed by ICT companies, national industry federation CNI and digital rights experts, among others. However, the financial sector has made calls for it to be watered down somewhat, especially regarding consent issues.

The approved bill is in line with the European GDPR regulation, requiring specific and clear consent by citizens for the use of their data and on the use of data for commercial and targeted marketing purposes.

The Brazilian law will apply even to companies headquartered outside the country, as long as the data processed concerns individuals in Brazilian territory or if the personal data was collected in Brazil.
