INTRODUCTION TO THE CONSTITUTIONALIZATION OF THE RIGHT TO PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA IN BRAZIL

Abstract

The work entitled “Introduction to the constitutionalization of the right to personal data protection in Brazil” addresses the historical-evolutionary process of constitutional elevation of the right to personal data protection, analyzing its main characteristics. The right to privacy stands out as an indispensable right for the success of the democratic rule of law, considering its contribution to the political inviolability of the body. Furthermore, the work employs a legal-comparative approach, demonstrating the interaction between the Latin American system and the European personal data protection system. It is observed that the first represents an important milestone for the analysis of the constitutionalization of law, highlighting a strong legal culture of constitutionalization of the right to the protection of personal data in Latin America, from the 20th century to the present day. The conclusions are derived from the hypothetical-deductive method, focusing on the historical-evolutionary and comparative thematic approach, using bibliographic and documentary resources to structure the concepts.
