LGPD covers all activities that involve processing in an analogical or digital means of personal data, being applied to individuals and corporate entities, of public or private law.

The exception is due to the data processing carried out by individuals for strictly domestic purposes (for example, telephone book, sending e-mails, among others).

As to the territorial scope, LGPD applies whenever data processing is carried out in Brazilian territory or if the activity involves the offer of products or services of people who are in national territory.

The law also provides for some situations in which LGPD does not apply.
