Therefore, it addresses the right to privacy in the information society; explains the relationship between technological evolution and information security; and exposes general aspects of the LGPD. As a methodology, the theoretical-dogmatic research was used, considering that a literature review on doctrines and legislation was carried out in order to answer the research problem.
