Senate ratifies that in August 2020 the Data Protection Law comes into force

The Federal Senate approved bill PL 1,179/2000, which deals with a series of emergency actions, among which is the entry into force of the General Data Protection Law. In any case, the application of the sanctions provided in that law will take effect in August 2021.

It should be noted that the postponement of the entry into force of that law was sanctioned in Provisional Measure 952 of the Executive Branch, but it was not ratified by the Senate; therefore it will be necessary to see if President Jair Bolsonaro exercises his veto power or not.
