Dino suspends Celepar privatization due to risk to personal data protection

Minister Flávio Dino has suspended the privatization process of Celepar over concerns regarding personal data protection in the company's transfer to the private sector.

Flávio Dino, a minister of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in Brazil, has put a halt to the privatization of Celepar, the state's technology and communications company, due to identified risks to personal data protection. This decision was in response to a request from political parties including the PT and PSOL, which have raised constitutional concerns about the privatization effort. Minister Dino emphasized that the proposed transfer of control did not ensure necessary safeguards for personal data, particularly regarding the handling and treatment of such data.
