Brazilian DPA imposes preventive measures on X. Corp

Recently, on December 16, the Brazilian National Data Protection Authority (“ANPD” or “Brazilian DPA”) imposed preventive measures against X. Corp, responsible for the X (Twitter) app, suspending the use of data from individuals under 18 years old for the training of generative Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tools.

The measures were: (i) obligation to modify the company’s Privacy Policy to state that the mentioned processing is not happening; (ii) removal of the phrase “para qualquer finalidade (for any purpose)” from the Terms of Use document; (iii) presenting suggested improvements to the Terms of Use; and (iv) submission of clarifications regarding the application of documents referencing the European Union to the context of Brazilian data subjects.

Our team is at your disposal for further clarifications, as well as to provide assistance with the procedures for fulfilling LGPD and/or ANPD regulatory obligations.
