Privacy Policy

GENERAL GUIDELINES ON THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA IN ELETROBRAS

We recognize the importance of privacy and security of the personal data of our customers, employees, suppliers, service providers and other partners, treated as a result of the business relationship. To express our respect for the principle of protecting privacy and the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), we have established the Personal Data and Privacy Protection Policy.

Our policy aims to establish guidelines for the processing of personal data, protecting the privacy of stakeholders, aiming at the management of personal data and the management of privacy incidents in the conventional or technology environment of our companies.

One of the most important aspects of our policy is that the commitment that the processes that involve the collection of personal data must be adjusted by the Eletrobras companies based on the concept of the minimum collection, with specific purposes and the respective consent, when applicable.

In addition to this Policy, the Regulation for the Governance of Privacy and Protection of Personal Data of Eletrobras companies was also prepared. Its main guidelines involve the processing of personal data, the rights of data subjects and the governance of risks to the personal data subject. The Regulation formalizes the activities of the privacy governance process, its actors, their roles and respective responsibilities, in addition to providing guidance on the record of processing activities and the data protection impact assessment.
