This work addresses the challenge of public institutions, specifically the Federal Rural University of Amazonia, in managing growing volumes of information in the context of digital transformation. The focus lies on the harmonization between the Access to Information Law and the General Data Protection Law, seeking a balance between public transparency and privacy, given the absence of a data governance policy. The general objective is to develop a theoretical-practical model that contributes to elaborating a data governance policy at this university, reconciling access to information and personal data protection. The research is qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive in nature, and uses the documentary case study as a methodological strategy. This methodological planning foresees the application of questionnaires and interviews with technical-administrative staff working in managerial roles related to information management and data protection. As partial results, it is observed that the institution does not have a regulated data governance policy, which contributes to critical problems that hinder the balance between public transparency and data protection. Such challenges manifest in the absence of information management practices aligned with the foundations of Archival Science and Information Science, and in weaknesses in the services handling requests for access to information. As final considerations, it is inferred that data governance is not merely a legal compliance issue, but a structuring pillar for administrative efficiency and the strengthening of the relationship of trust between the State and civil society in the university environment.
