Privacy Tools

Privacy Tools is a Brazilian privacy-technology company built specifically around compliance with the LGPD (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados), Brazil’s general data protection law. Its modular platform covers the operational mechanics of privacy compliance: cookie consent management, handling data subject access requests (DSARs), mapping personal data flows, and tracking whether suppliers meet LGPD obligations. The company positions itself as one of the earliest and largest dedicated LGPD compliance platforms in the Brazilian market.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul (with a physical office opened in 2021), Privacy Tools reports serving several hundred organizations, including named clients such as RCI Bank Brazil and Unimed Ceará in published case studies. The company says it doubled its headcount in 2022 and has grown steadily since, though it has not disclosed specific funding or current employee figures publicly, and was noted as accelerated by Obr.global, an early-stage accelerator.

Global privacy-management platforms like OneTrust and BigID dominate the broader data protection/privacy category, and Privacy Tools’ relevance is largely tied to its focus on Brazil-specific LGPD requirements rather than broad, multi-jurisdiction privacy coverage. For organizations operating primarily in Brazil, that focus is a real advantage — deep, localized LGPD workflow support from a company embedded in the local regulatory and legal context — but it also caps the company’s addressable market and disruption potential relative to global privacy platforms.
