Privacy-First Development: Complying with Global Regulations (GDPR, PIPL, LGPD) in 2025

Why Privacy-First Development Matters

In 2025, data privacy is no longer optional it’s a competitive advantage . With regulations like the EU’s GDPR , China’s PIPL , and Brazil’s LGPD reshaping global standards, businesses worldwide must prioritize privacy-first development. At JustWebTech, we help clients build secure, compliant digital solutions that align with international laws and local needs.

Requirements : Explicit consent, data minimization, and breach notifications within 72 hours.

Non-compliance can lead to fines of up to 4% of global revenue

PIPL (China’s Personal Information Protection Law)

PIPL (China’s Personal Information Protection Law) Governs data processing for individuals in China, mirroring GDPR’s strictness

Requirements : Local data storage, cross-border transfer restrictions, and user consent for data sharing.

LGPD (Brazil’s General Data Protection Law)

Scope : Regulates personal data handling in Brazil, emphasizing transparency and accountability
