Portugal — Lei n.º 58/2019 (GDPR execution law)
Portugal's GDPR execution act. The headline for EdTech: the lowest digital-consent age in our corpus.
Statute text is Portuguese (the authentic language); this README is curation.
Applicability to EdTech
- Digital-consent age is 13 (artigo 16.º) — Portugal took the GDPR Art. 8 derogation to the absolute floor; under 13, consent comes from legal representatives, "de preferência" via secure authentication (n.º 2). (Corpus map: PT 13 · IT/BG/AT 14 · CZ 15 · DE/PL 16.)
- Contraordenação tiers (artigo 37.º muito graves, 38.º graves): national fine grids implementing the GDPR Art. 83 scales, differentiated by company size (grande empresa / PME / pessoas singulares).
- Public entities and fines (artigo 59.º): the art. 44.º/2 possibility of not applying coimas to public entities (public schools included) was subject to a three-year re-evaluation — track CNPD practice rather than assuming immunity.

Statute text in CONSENTIMENTO-E-COIMAS.md is reproduced verbatim in Portuguese from the PGDL consolidated database by tools/pgdlisboa/build_pt.py — Portugal's official gazette portal rejects non-browser clients (see the tool README row), so the public prosecution service's consolidation is used. verify re-fetches and fails when an extracted article's amendment trail changes.
