Summary/Abstract: Using the methodology of compared literature and compared law from Brazilian and European data protection laws in force, we used the comparative analysis of the legal texts of both laws: General data Protection Law and General Data Protection Regulation, the first from Brazil and the second from Europe, aiming to successfully determine that the legislation in Brazil on this matter is clearly influenced by the present European pro- tecting data regulation because of its modern approach on the protection of fundamental rights, and that it would have never emerged under this European format without the GDPR in the European Union.
