Healthcare cooperative notified after alleged data security incident reported.
Unimed Porto Alegre received an inspection notice from Procon Municipal this Friday 8th following a complaint published on the Tecmundo website, which reported an alleged leak of sensitive patient data. As established by Federal Law 8078/90, the health cooperative has a deadline of 20 days to respond to the official document, which requests clarification on the incident.
The executive director of Procon of Porto Alegre, Wambert Di Lorenzo, clarified that the company, once notified, is subject to article 32 of the Consumer Protection Code, which provides a deadline of 20 days to submit its responses. Depending on the outcome of the investigations, Procon may apply the administrative sanctions provided for in Article 56 of the same code, aimed at guaranteeing the protection of consumer rights and the security of their personal data.
Unimed Porto Alegre, one of the largest healthcare cooperatives in the region, is now under scrutiny by consumer protection authorities due to this suspected leak of sensitive information. The cooperative must cooperate fully with the investigation, providing detailed information about the incident in order to clarify the situation and take measures to prevent future data security issues that could affect its customers.
