    What is the General Data Protection Law?

    It is a federal law enacted in September 2020 and one of the objectives is to ensure transparency in the use of your personal data.

    With this new law, we at AES have updated our Privacy Policy on our websites and applications and have released the Privacy Notice to our customers, where you can find more information about the treatment of your personal data. In addition, we changed the way of accessing some of our channels.

    Know that we are committed to being transparent and taking care of your personal data.

    In case of requests or information about the LGPD, send an email to the committee comitelgpd@aes.com.
