Abstract

ABSTRACT Objectives: the constitution and use of personal databases for various purposes has increased in recent years, amplified by technological advancements. Recent regulations seek to keep pace with these advances and ensure the protection of individual’s privacy and dignity. The objective was to assess the impact of the Brazilian General Data Protection Law (LGPD) and Resolution 738/2024 of the Brazilian National Health Council on research with participants in Brazil. Methods: documentary research, using analysis of national and international regulations, laws and guidelines to describe the preand post-LGPD regulatory framework. Results: the law and Resolution 738/2024 represent important milestones for data protection and specific requirements for its use in research, in addition to reinforcing ethical observance and the need of informed consent. Final Considerations: these changes represent operational challenges, as well as dilemmas in balancing the importance of data use in health, education, and science, and the limits of individual protection.
