Essential Guide to Personal Data Protection in Chile and Panama

The Essential Guide on Personal Data Protection in Chile and Panama, prepared by ECIJA Chile and ECIJA Panama, examines the main aspects of the data protection regime in both countries, including the rights of data subjects, the obligations of companies, the processing of sensitive data, the management of data processors, the notification of security incidents and impact assessments.

The document provides a structured and comparative overview of the current regulations - Law No. 19.628, as amended by Law No. 21.719 in Chile, and Law 81 of 2019 and its regulations in Panama - highlighting convergences, differences and relevant risks for organisations operating or planning to operate in both markets. A resource designed to support decision-making and strengthen personal data protection compliance strategies.
