Access to Information Law, General Personal Data Protection Law, Public transparencyAbstract
The present work aims to analyze and understand the existence or not of an opposition between the Access to Information Law (LAI, Law n. 12,527 / 2011), and the General Data Protection Law (LGPD, Law n. 13.709 / 2018), on public transparency within the scope of Federal Institutions of Higher Education (IFES). In spite of these legislative instruments, they comprise different disciplines, the first, focused on public data and the other, on personal data. The problem that led the development of this research consists of the following questions: is there an apparent conflict in the applicability of these legal contributions? Could the possible insecurity generate a setback in public transparency? To analyze the researched data, a methodological path was used that interweaves a field study, with a qualitative analysis of the questionnaires applied to the research corpus, which focuses on 22 federal universities and 08 (eight) federal institutes. Initially, in the first chapter, an excerpt is made on the Law on Access to Information as an instrument for the effectiveness of public transparency. Then, the guidelines of the General Data Protection Law are discussed as a representative framework in informative self-determination. The final chapter analyzes the (in)compatibility between the LAI and the LGPD by the institutions regarding the information requested from the Citizen Information Service.
