New Data Protection Law in Chile: the time to act is now
Articles23 March 2026
The regulation will come into force on 01 December 2026 and may take up to 7 months to implement.
The entry into force of the new regulations in Chile marks a significant change in the way in which organisations will have to manage personal data. This new framework requires the adoption of concrete compliance measures, which implies implementation times that are not immediate.
In this context, postponing compliance can generate relevant risks, including exposure to sanctions, vulnerabilities in data processing and lack of internal control.
Therefore, anticipating is essential. At ECIJA Chile we accompany organisations throughout the compliance process, from the initial diagnosis to the implementation of a comprehensive compliance model.
