Abstract

The article analyzes the legal nature of data protection as a collective interest, based on the Brazilian General Data Protection Law and Constitutional Amendment No. 115 of 2022. In this context, it also analyzes the Public Civil Action Law and its derogations, especially the one determined by the Consumer Defense Code. The article adopts a qualitative method, based on a hypothetical-deductive approach, based in the hypothesis of the existence of a diffuse right to data protection in Brazil, considering the abstract concept of diffuse interests as defined by law. The work is based on legislation and doctrine on diffuse interests, considering the characteristics of the Information Society.
