The CPDP LatAm community expresses its deep regret for the death of Professor Danilo Doneda this Sunday, Dec. 04, 2022.
Danilo was one of the founders of CPDP LatAm and leaves many colleagues, friends, students and companions, all saddened and honoured for having shared his immense generosity of spirit.
Danilo marked the trajectory of privacy and data protection in Brazil and Latin America, but also the lives of all the people who had the pleasure of working alongside him, learning under his guidance, laughing, and enjoying life with him.
He leaves a rich legacy for the field of data protection and will remain a fundamental pillar of CPDP LatAm. Danilo’s spirit will continue to be alive and carried forward by all of us.
Thank you, Danilo
