Amino Química, a benchmark in the Brazilian chemical sector, reinforces its commitment to the protection of personal data as it advances in the implementation of the LGPD (General Data Protection Law – Law No. 13.709/2018). In effect since 2020, this legislation establishes rules for data processing, promoting greater transparency, security, and control for data subjects — and requiring effective compliance measures from companies.
What is the LGPD and why is it so important?
The LGPD is a regulatory milestone that guarantees citizens the right to privacy and control over their personal data. For companies, its importance is even greater: in addition to strengthening public trust, it requires the adoption of safe and responsible practices, impacting everything from contracts to technology usage.
In practice, the law transforms how companies collect, store, and share information, encouraging digital ethics and data governance.
How is Amino Química complying with the LGPD?
Amino is carrying out a structured LGPD implementation process focused on governance, awareness, and information security. Key actions already taken or underway include:
- Awareness sessions conducted in 2024 with employees;
- Amendments to employment contracts with specific clauses regarding LGPD-related rights and obligations;
- Updating the institutional website with clear policies on usage, privacy, and cookies;
- Appointment of a Data Protection Officer (DPO).
For 2025, new project stages are planned, including:
- Additional training sessions;
- Review and adaptation of contracts with suppliers and partners;
- Preparation of the Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA);
- Implementation of the Information Security Policy;
- Development of the ROPA (Record of Processing Activities) and Data Mapping;
- Internal audits and creation of an Information Security Committee.
Data subject rights: how does Amino ensure compliance?
Amino is committed to ensuring the exercise of rights provided for in the LGPD, such as:
- Access to information;
- Data correction or deletion;
- Objection to data processing, when applicable.
The company’s communication channels are structured to support data subjects in a transparent and agile manner, with both technical and legal support.
Challenges and solutions in the compliance journey
Like any organizational transformation, LGPD compliance required planning and investment. The main challenges faced by Amino included:
- Adapting internal processes;
- Reviewing privacy policies;
- Updating technological infrastructure;
- Communicating clearly with a diverse audience, including younger users.
To overcome these, the company hired specialized consultancies, created a dedicated privacy committee, reviewed its systems, and developed educational resources for users and employees. The result is a more prepared, ethical organization aligned with the principles of the new digital economy.
With a proactive and committed approach, Amino Química reaffirms its responsibility for data protection and user privacy. LGPD compliance is not just a legal requirement — it is an essential step in building a safer, more transparent, and trustworthy digital environment for everyone.
