The purpose of this paper is to discuss the civil liability system in case of loss of files from the main cloud computing providers. The research problem that was sought to answer throughout this paper was: Is it possible to assert that the Brazilian civil liability system is adequate and sufficient for the protection of the holders of data stored in the cloud? For this study, the deductive method of approach was used, since the research was based on a general analysis of the cloud computing providers, and then specifically deal with the issue of civil liability. Regarding the procedure method, the comparative one was used, since the terms of privacy and use of three providers were studied in order to identify their relationship. Finally, the techniques of documentary and bibliographic research were adopted. It was concluded that the applicable legislation regarding the loss of files from these providers is the Consumer Protection Code, since the relationship between cloud providers and users/consumers is a consumption one, therefore implying an objective liability.
