Comparative analysis of the personal data protection regimes in Chile and Nicaragua.

The Essential Guide on Personal Data Protection in Chile and Nicaragua presents a structured analysis of the rules that regulate the processing of personal data in both jurisdictions, considering both the constitutional framework and the specific legislation in force in each country.


The document addresses the main areas of regulatory compliance, including the duties of companies, the rights of data subjects, the processing of sensitive data, the relationship with data processors, the management and notification of security incidents, as well as impact assessments and other good practices aimed at risk mitigation.
