NICE Increases Compliance Awareness Via Participation in the
Brazilian Forum for Data Protection Conference

NICE sponsored event provides insights and best practices, helping organizations transition their
businesses to comply with a new set of laws to trigger a paradigm shift in the Brazilian private sector

Hoboken, N.J., December 5, 2018 – NICE today announced that it has taken steps to increase awareness for the new General Law of Data Protection (GLPD) in Brazil by supporting and sponsoring the Brazilian Forum for Data Protection conference. Held in Sao Paulo, Brazil and organized by Cantarino Brasileiro, the event provides a framework for attendees to benefit from NICE's extensive experience in driving organizations to become compliant with regulations such as GDPR that came into force on 25 May, this year.

The NICE supported event provides a comprehensive picture of the new framework under GLPD, its practical impact across the sectors such as retail, finance, marketing, telecommunications and more, as well as the penalties that will accrue in the event of non-compliance. Importantly, the event shares the immediate steps businesses can begin taking in order to gear their operations to meet such new legislation in a timely, cost efficient and comprehensive manner.

The Brazilian Forum for Data Protection conference brings together renowned experts in the Brazilian market, including Fernanda Nones, manager of implementation of Digital Results (RD), Flavia Mitri, privacy director of Uber for Latin America, Renato Opice Blum, coordinator of Insper's Digital Law and Data Protection courses, Marcel Leonardi, consultant at Pinheiro Neto Advogados and Fabio Lacerda Carneiro from Banco Central.

Participation in this conference once again demonstrates NICE’s commitment to helping organizations achieve regulatory compliance with data privacy laws around the world. One such example is the NICE GDPR Compliance Center that provides contact centers with the tools to meet the most significant and comprehensive reform of the data protection law in the last 20 years that has a global impact on all organizations processing data on individuals residing in the European Union. NICE's solution streamlines the implementation of mechanisms for the proper processing of registered private data, in order to achieve greater transparency.

Yaron Hertz, President of NICE Americas, said, "NICE is proud to be a part of the effort of raising awareness for the new GLPD legislation, which promises to make an immense impact on enterprises in Brazil regardless of the domain in which they operate. Companies must make technology their ally in order to effectively capture, retain, identify and retrieve of all interactions with customers - across any channel. Organizations that make the new law a priority and start adopting technology that best fits their needs today will be best equipped to meet the legislation at the lowest possible cost and with the least impact on their businesses."
