Data Portability: Lessons From Other Sectoral Experiences

Abstract

Given the recent enactment of the Brazilian General Personal Data Protection Law (LGPD), which includes the right to personal data portability, this paper investigates previous regulatory and legal instruments regulating portability rights in Brazil. The experiences found in healthcare, telecommunications, and financial services provide relevant insights and possible challenges for the implementation of personal data portability and its outreach as a legal remedy to promote competition in data driven markets.
