ADEQUAÇÃO DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO À LEI GERAL DE PROTEÇÃO DE DADOS: Uma análise no Sul de Minas Gerais

Abstract

The study evaluated the compliance of Educational Institutions in the South of Minas Gerais with the General Data Protection Law (LGPD). Using questionnaires, interviews and document analysis, data was collected on the institutions' level of compliance with the LGPD, their knowledge and understanding of the law, the challenges faced and the measures taken to ensure compliance. The results showed that the majority of institutions are still not fully compliant with the LGPD, facing challenges such as lack of financial and technical resources, lack of employee training and complexity of legislation. However, some institutions have adopted measures such as reviewing privacy policies, implementing information security measures and hiring professionals specialized in data protection. These results highlight the importance of compliance with the LGPD by schools in the south of Minas Gerais to protect the personal information of students, employees and others involved, in addition to the need to raise awareness about the importance of data protection in educational institutions.
