The article seeks to understand the term “surveillance capitalism” referred to by the American author Shoshana Zuboff in her research and to analyze the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) as a regulation that limits (or not) access by large companies to sensitive data from holders. The problem that guides the research can be summarized in the following question: To what extent can the General Data Protection Law be used as a limiting instrument to combat surveillance capitalism in Brazil? Based on the data collected from a set of research carried out on the subject, we can verify that the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) is a normative based on European regulations and that constituted, in Brazil, a normative framework regarding digital data. In this aspect, it is possible to affirm that the Brazilian LGPD is an instrument that guarantees the defense of the private and fundamental rights of users' digital data, however, it is still not an effective and limiting instrument to combat surveillance capitalism in Brazil. The general objective of the text is to analyze the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) from the understanding of the term “surveillance capitalism”. The specific objectives of the text, which are reflected in its structure in two sections, are: a) to understand the term “surveillance capitalism” and its dynamics of applicability; b) analyze the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) as a Brazilian regulatory framework regarding the protection of digital data. The research method used was the hypothetical-deductive.
