Data Privacy Brasil Research

The Governance and Regulation area monitors, analyzes, and influences digital governance processes internationally, in dialogue with the local context and from the perspective of the Global South. By understanding how spaces such as international organizations (UNESCO, OECD) and institutional governance arrangements, such as the G20 and UN system processes, work together to form networks such as the Global South Alliance.

In this line of work, we investigate, articulate, and influence the impacts of datafication and software use on fundamental rights, considering the deeply asymmetrical relationships in Brazil. We analyze social relations to identify and combat injustices generated by digital technologies that reify or create power dynamics, such as racism, misogyny, LGBTphobia and other intersectional perspectives.

In this area, we work at the intersection of data protection, regulation of digital markets, and the defense of new digital rights, focusing on the growing influence of platforms, digital public infrastructures, and artificial intelligence systems. Through research and initiatives, we seek to understand the role of digital platforms, regulators, and civil society, both in Brazil and internationally.
