Brazil's Digital ECA: Age Verification is Coming (March 2026)
Blog post from Didit
Brazil's Digital Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA), set to take effect in March 2026, represents a significant overhaul in online child protection laws, mandating robust age verification for digital platforms accessible to Brazilian minors. This law applies to any online service, regardless of where the provider is based, necessitating effective and reliable verification methods beyond simple self-declaration, alongside parental consent and account linking for users under 16. The Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD) will oversee enforcement, with potential penalties for non-compliance including fines up to R$50 million and service suspension. Additionally, the law prohibits targeted advertising to minors and mandates parental controls and transparency reports for platforms frequented by young users. Companies like Didit offer AI-powered solutions to help businesses comply with these requirements, emphasizing the importance of early preparation to ensure adherence to the new standards and the protection of young users online.
