• Abstract:

  Laws that cover the digital context in relation to data protection are becoming increasingly common, such as the Brazilian LGPD (General Data Protection Law) and the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation). The creation of data manipulation and collection regulations, which cover the digital context, are a consequence of the growing expansion of the digital world along with the exponential increase in data production. The main objective of such legislation is to regulate the storage, processing and use of personal data, with the aim of protecting and guaranteeing the security of data subjects. However, many individuals have deficiencies in terms of knowledge of laws that cover the digital context and good practices on behavior and experience within the virtual world, creating security vulnerabilities for such people. Among the main factors that accelerated the adoption of computing services by people with less familiarity with technology, we can mention the international pandemic of covid-19, which, by creating a scenario of change in society's behavior aimed at greater social distancing, generated both a increase in interactions through digital media and an escalation in the number of digital scams. Based on this scenario, this study seeks to understand how individuals, increasingly associated with a digital context, understand and understand the digital laws created to protect them.
