In a response to a request for information by the PSOL party, Serpro (Federal Data Processing Service) claimed that it has no "open negotiations" with the Paraná Public Security Secretariat concerning the storage of data from Celepar, a significant technology state-owned enterprise. This statement contradicts the Paraná state government's arguments to support the privatization of Celepar, stressing the importance of this entity in managing sensitive data for health, education, public safety, and tax collection for approximately 11.8 million residents.

The controversy arose when the state government attempted to invalidate a security mandate issued by Minister Flavio Dino of the Supreme Federal Court (STF), which ruled against the privatization efforts on constitutional grounds. The Secretary of Security argued that negotiations were underway for using Serpro's cloud services to protect sensitive public security data after Celepar's potential sale. However, the Supreme Court's limitation focused on the compliance of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD), which does not allow private entities lacking complete public capital to manage public security data.

Celepar's role as a data custodian is crucial for public services in Paraná, making the implications of its privatization a matter of public interest. This raises serious questions about data protection, constitutional compliance, and the integrity of handling sensitive information related to the state's inhabitants. The conflicting statements from Serpro and the state government highlight the ongoing tension surrounding the future of Celepar and public data management in Brazil, as issues of privatization and security continue to unfold.
