This term is increasingly common in Brazil and Portugal due to GDPR compliance requirements and heightened data protection awareness. Organizations operating across EU and Brazilian jurisdictions must be particularly vigilant about unprotected processing as both regions have strict data protection regulations (GDPR in EU, LGPD in Brazil). The term carries legal implications and is frequently used in compliance audits, privacy impact assessments, and regulatory communications.
