The term 'behavioral data' has become increasingly important in Brazil and Portugal with the growth of digital marketing and e-commerce. In Brazil, there is growing awareness around privacy concerns, particularly following the implementation of LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais - General Data Protection Law) in 2020. In the USA, especially in NYC, companies heavily leverage behavioral data for targeted advertising and personalization, though privacy regulations like CCPA are becoming more prevalent. The term is widely used in tech hubs across both countries.
