Essential Guide on Personal Data Protection in Chile and Ecuador

The Essential Guide on Personal Data Protection in Chile and Ecuador offers a structured vision of the main elements that regulate the processing of personal data in both jurisdictions, considering both the constitutional framework and the specific legislation and regulations in force in each country.

The document addresses central aspects for compliance management, such as the duties of companies, the rights of data subjects, the processing of sensitive data, the performance of data processors, the notification of security incidents and the performance of impact assessments, incorporating a practical approach oriented to the daily operation of organisations.

This publication was jointly prepared by the specialised teams of ECIJA Chile and ECIJA Ecuador, reflecting the collaborative work between both offices and the firm's commitment to offer coherent and comprehensive legal solutions aligned with international standards on privacy, regulatory compliance and responsible management of personal information.
