ANPD Denies World Bank LGPD Adequacy Request for International Transfer

The ANPD denied the Ministry of Social Development’s request to certify the World Bank’s adequacy to the LGPD for international data transfers under Bolsa Família. The authority cited the complexity of the process and its ongoing assessments with the EU and UK as priorities.

Despite the denial, the ANPD clarified that data transfers can still take place if they comply with the mechanisms outlined in Article 33 of the LGPD, ensuring a legitimate legal basis for processing.
