Da proteção aos dados pessoais sensíveis sob a luz dos direitos humanos e da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados

Abstract

One of the greatest challenges faced by humanity has always been the quest to protect human achievements. Since the most ancient civilizations, human rights have been sought in their fullness, according to the context of each era. More recently, with the expansion of the digital age, increasingly present in people’s lives, it was necessary to create legislation that addressed in a more specific and clear way the protection of personal data, as well as sensitive personal data of individuals. Thus, in 2018, the General Data Protection Law was enacted, which has the main objective of protecting the fundamental rights related to freedom and privacy of the human person. In this sense, the LGPD discusses concepts and definitions, institutes and methods throughout its structure, in order to ensure the defense of sensitive personal data in line with the defense of human rigths. This research seeks to clarify the proposed theme through the analysis of the evolution of human rights to the present day, the conceptualization of the institutes, principles and foundations that govern the LGPD, as well as through the relationship between sensitive personal data and the protection of human rights related to privacy. Regarding the methodology, the deductive method was chosen, by bringing a methodological and documental approach, starting from the bibliographic and legislative analysis.
