However, Digital Law goes beyond Law No. 13,709/2018 and encompasses civil liability, technology contracts, protection of digital assets, and information security.

Companies must properly structure the legal bases for data processing, map internal data flows, establish privacy policies, implement procedures to respond to data subjects’ rights, and ensure the effective performance of the Data Protection Officer (DPO), under the risk of administrative and judicial sanctions.

Digital assets such as databases, software, domains, algorithms, systems, and corporate channels have significant legal relevance and must be protected through contracts, intellectual property registrations, and specific clauses on ownership and confidentiality.

The use of artificial intelligence imposes duties of transparency, governance, and human oversight, especially in automated decision-making processes that affect rights—such as selection, credit, and behavioral analysis—thereby increasing the company’s exposure to liability.

More than compliance, Digital Law is a strategic tool: it strengthens institutional reputation, reduces regulatory liabilities, and prepares companies for an increasingly regulated, technological, and legally demanding environment.
