Logging duty
Articles 17 to 19 and 21 to 22 set the data subject's rights and the time limits for answering them (immediately in simplified form, or within 15 days with a complete declaration). Article 19, paragraph 1 requires personal data to be stored in a format that favors the exercise of the right of access, which concerns the data itself and not a log or a record of processing. None of the cited articles requires a log or a record; the controller's register of processing operations is in Article 37, which this row does not cite.

What this law does
Article 17 assures every natural person title to their own personal data and the fundamental rights of liberty, intimacy and privacy that the LGPD protects.
Article 18 gives the data subject the right to confirm processing exists, access, correct, anonymize, block, delete, or port their data to another provider, learn which public and private entities the controller shared their data with, learn the consequences of withholding consent, and revoke consent at any time through a free and easy procedure, and article 19 requires the controller to answer a confirmation or access request immediately in simplified form or within 15 days with a full, clear statement of the data's origin, the criteria used, and the treatment's purpose.
Article 21 bars using data about a data subject's exercise of their own rights to their detriment, and article 22 lets the data subject or a representative defend these rights in an individual or collective judicial action.
