The Sigilo Institute recently launched a portal that allows Auxílio Brasil beneficiaries to check whether their data has been leaked. This situation occurred with people who received funds from the program and accidentally had their data leaked.
Given the situation, these people may receive compensation to compensate for the leaking of private information such as name, address, among others. Therefore, see the amount of compensation and learn how the process will work.

Brazil Aid Compensation
In September of this year, the Federal Court ordered a payment of R$15,000 to all people who suffered from the Auxílio Brasil data leak. Despite this ruling, the measure may be subject to possible legal appeals.
Therefore, even if this determination is made, there is no guarantee that the beneficiaries will actually receive the amount. However, it is possible to check whether you are entitled to the money through the portal.
When you access the page, simply click on the option “Check if I am eligible” and enter your name, CPF, telephone number and email.
About the value
The question of when beneficiaries will receive the amount is an uncertainty present in this scenario. Instituto Sigilo highlights that, although there is a good chance of success, there is no absolute guarantee that people will receive the money. This is a legal process, and it is essential to understand that it may take some time until the payment actually happens.
Furthermore, if compensation is awarded, the citizen must seek enforcement of the sentence after the end of the process, with the assistance of a lawyer. According to information from the Secrecy Institute, approximately 471 thousand people are eligible to receive compensation, indicating that all of them have faced the situation in question.
It is important to highlight that the methodology used by the institute to obtain this data was not disclosed.
However, what is known is that the organization's mission is to establish contact with the OAB (Brazilian Bar Association) to register professionals qualified to offer legal assistance to those seeking compensation.
