Who it applies to

It applies when all of these are true:

  • Brazil ECA Digital assessed fact Q_BR_ECA_CHILD_ACCESS: YES

What engineering work it implies

Sample acceptance criteria Landfall generates for this obligation:

  • Assess the actual supplier of an information-technology product/service directed to or likely accessed by children or adolescents under Decreto 12.880/2026 Article 47. Its stated supplier scope is not limited to the controller role in statutory Article 16 or automatically confined to the Article 31 million-user reporting threshold; preserve those source/scope distinctions for qualified review.
  • Perform the Article 47 impact assessment of children's safety and health, including risk identification and analysis, likelihood of occurrence and severity of potential impact, risk treatment and mitigation, and continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of the adopted measures. A single high-level score or one-time privacy report is not evidence of every required element.
  • Make a summarized version of the report public in clear and accessible language under Article 47 section 1. The public summary is distinct from the raw assessment report and underlying personal data; verify an accessible publication path and preserve the assessed scope, main risks, measures and material limitations without disclosing identifiable children or confidential raw case evidence.
  • Article 47 section 2 permits ANPD rules on minimum content, frequency and preparation, review and sharing conditions. Verify current criteria; do not invent a universal numerical reassessment or publication interval. The decree commenced on 18 March 2026. Statutory Article 16 controller reports remain separately assessable from 17 March; this record does not establish blanket Article 39 or reporting-size relief.
  • Use synthetic or sanitized assessment cases and minimized configuration, access, control and review evidence. Exclude real child identities, conversations, images, recordings, precise locations and raw personal-data reports from ordinary task attachments, exports and general logs. Keep any legally necessary sensitive operational material in a separately authorized, purpose-limited process with assessed access and retention. This is an engineering evidence-minimization safeguard, not a prescribed fixed log schema or retention period.

    Assess child-safety impacts and publish an accessible report summary — scoped assessment and minimized evidence

    Assess the actual supplier of an information-technology product/service directed to or likely accessed by children or adolescents under Decreto 12.880/2026 Article 47. Its stated supplier scope is not limited to the controller role in statutory Article 16 or automatically confined to the Article 31 million-user reporting threshold; preserve those source/scope distinctions for qualified review. Perform the Article 47 impact assessment of children's safety and health, including risk identification and analysis, likelihood of occurrence and severity of potential impact, risk treatment and mitigation, and continuous monitoring of the effectiveness of the adopted measures. A single high-level score or one-time privacy report is not evidence of every required element. Make a summarized version of the report public in clear and accessible language under Article 47 section 1. The public summary is distinct from the raw assessment report and underlying personal data; verify an accessible publication path and preserve the assessed scope, main risks, measures and material limitations without disclosing identifiable children or confidential raw case evidence. Article 47 section 2 permits ANPD rules on minimum content, frequency and preparation, review and sharing conditions. Verify current criteria; do not invent a universal numerical reassessment or publication interval. The decree commenced on 18 March 2026. Statutory Article 16 controller reports remain separately assessable from 17 March; this record does not establish blanket Article 39 or reporting-size relief.

Keep any legally necessary sensitive operational material in a separately authorized, purpose-limited process with assessed access and retention. This is an engineering evidence-minimization safeguard, not a prescribed fixed log schema or retention period. Verify current ANPD implementing requirements and qualified Portuguese source review. Preserve the distinction between the decree's reference to children's safety/health and its supplier scope for products directed to or likely accessed by children or adolescents; assess actual age groups and unresolved source questions without inventing full-law or historical approval. The decree's cross-reference names statutory Article 31(VI), while the statute places impact-assessment methods/results in Article 31(VII). Preserve this primary-source cross-reference discrepancy for qualified review; it does not establish that the express Article 47 duties can be ignored.

Not legal advice. Landfall maps regulatory obligations to engineering work for planning purposes. Its verdicts are not legal advice and create no attorney-client relationship — verify with qualified counsel before relying on them.

What Landfall Is NOT

Critical Boundaries

Understanding these boundaries is essential before using this product. Misuse of this tool for purposes outside its scope may create legal, regulatory, or commercial risk for your organization.

NOT Legal Advice

This product does not provide legal advice and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

Interpretations are informational analysis, not legal counsel. Always consult qualified legal professionals for compliance decisions.

NOT a Risk Score

We do not quantify, calculate, or certify your compliance risk level.

No numerical risk rating, compliance percentage, or safety score. Risk assessment requires human judgment about your specific context.

NOT Runtime Enforcement

This is a planning and mapping tool, not a runtime enforcement system.

Does not integrate with your production systems. Does not block, filter, or enforce compliance in real-time. Implementation is your responsibility.

NOT Regulatory Approval

Using this tool does not mean you are compliant with any regulation.

No certification, seal of approval, or compliance guarantee. Regulators will evaluate your actual implementation, not your use of this tool.

NOT Authoritative Interpretation

Our interpretations are not binding and may differ from regulatory guidance.

Only regulators and courts provide authoritative interpretation. Our analysis reflects our reading of requirements, which may be incomplete or incorrect.

NOT a Safe Harbor

This tool does not shield you from enforcement actions or liability.

Documentation of your process is valuable, but does not constitute a legal defense. Compliance is ultimately your organization's responsibility.

NOT an AI Compliance Agent

AI features assist analysis but do not make compliance decisions for you.

AI-generated interpretations require human review and approval. Automated suggestions are starting points, not final answers.

NOT Complete Coverage

We do not cover all regulations, all obligations, or all jurisdictions.

Regulatory landscape is vast and evolving. Gaps in our coverage do not mean those requirements don't apply to you.

What This Tool IS:

  • A structured workflow for mapping regulatory requirements to implementation tasks
  • A documentation system for compliance decisions (audit trail)
  • A collaboration platform for compliance, legal, and engineering teams
  • An informational resource for understanding regulatory obligations
