ANPD inspects adult sites

Brazil’s ANPD has started inspections tied to ECA Digital covering adult-content sites, app stores and operating systems, according to a 2026 legal update cited by LHBM Advogados.

Scope of the inspections

The available reference says the Brazilian data protection authority began monitoring three areas: adult-content websites, app stores and operating systems. That move appears in a legal update published on July 15, 2026 by LHBM Advogados, as part of a review of the main regulations, public consultations and ANPD trends that year.

The material does not provide further details on specific cases, the companies inspected or the results of those actions. It also does not include the full text of the rule or the technical criteria applied in each inspection.

Regulatory context cited

The same legal update focuses on ANPD Norm No. 5/2024 on the use of artificial intelligence under the LGPD and links it to the oversight environment associated with ECA Digital. Based on the material provided, what can be verified is that the ANPD had already begun to examine platforms and software distribution and runtime environments with a focus on protecting the data of children and adolescents in Brazil.

Among the available sources is also a Riot Games notice about the age verification process and the control platform for ECA Digital Brasil, although the research material provided does not develop that point in detail or explicitly connect it to a specific ANPD action.

The IAPARARH technical note on AI and LGPD in HR is part of the set of available sources, but the confirmed research for this piece does not include facts drawn from that text. For that reason, the verifiable scope of this item is limited to the legal update by LHBM Advogados and the confirmed data on inspections begun by the ANPD.
