GDPR became effective in May 2018 and significantly impacted international business operations. In Brazil, while GDPR doesn't directly apply, the country has its own Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados (LGPD) enacted in 2020, which was heavily influenced by GDPR principles. The acronym GDPR is widely recognized and used in Portuguese-speaking business and tech communities, often alongside its Portuguese equivalent RGPD.
