On September 9, 2026, Brazil's National Data Protection Agency (ANPD) launched a public consultation to update its Enforcement Process and Administrative Sanctioning Process Regulation (ANPD Directive CD/ANPD No. 1/2021). The ANPD is accepting contributions through October 26, 2026, via the Brasil Participativo platform. The updated regulation addresses the ANPD's expanded responsibilities following recent legislative changes. These include child and adolescent protection online under the Digital Statute for Children and Adolescents (ECA Digital); user rights and internet service provider obligations established by Decree No. 12,975/2026, which updated the Civil Internet Framework; and women's protection and violence prevention in digital environments under Decree No. 12,976/2026. The revision also reflects the ANPD's transformation into a regulatory agency under Law No. 15,352/2026, which strengthened institutional autonomy and modified organizational structure and decision-making processes. As part of the public participation process, the ANPD will hold a virtual public hearing on September 24, 2026, at 2:30 p.m., broadcast on the ANPD's YouTube channel. Individuals wishing to provide oral comments must register through an electronic form between September 9 and September 18, 2026. Following the hearing and consultation period, the ANPD's Regulation Superintendence will analyse contributions, consolidate the final draft, and submit the document to the Directing Board for approval. **REFERENCES:** National Data Protection Agency (ANPD).
