Digital assets are becoming increasingly important. Data is the fuel used by large companies to create consumer categories. In Argentina, the Data Protection Law was enacted in 2000 and, with the surge in popularity of social media and a world that is changing, this law is no longer a protective mechanism.
TrustLaw, the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s global pro bono service, connected Democracia en Red with law firms in Argentina, France, Chile, Colombia, Canada, Brazil, Spain, Mexico and Uruguay to produce legal research on legislation on data protection applicable to the public and private sectors locally.
This report addresses five aspects related to current legislation: main laws and regulations, gender perspective, enforcement authority, government access to personal data and implicit consent. We thank the valuable contributions made by Bruchou Fernandez Madero & Lombardi; KLA Advogados; Gomez-Pinzón Abogados; Dentons Canada LLP; ObradorDigital Legal; Hogan Lovells International LLP; DLA Piper Paris; Goebel & Muthspiel; and Cervieri Monsuarez.

Los activos digitales son cada vez más importantes. Los datos son el combustible utilizado por
enormes empresas para crear categorías de consumo. En Argentina La ley de Protección de Datos Personales se aprobó en el año 2000, y con el estallido de las redes sociales y los cambios que se están dando en el mundo, esta ley ya no protege lo que buscaba proteger.
TrustLaw, el programa global pro bono de la Thomson Reuters Foundation, conectó a Democracia en Red con nueve firmas legales en Argentina, Francia, Chile, Colombia, Canadá, Brasil, España, México y Uruguay para llevar a cabo una investigación de normativa sobre protección de datos aplicable a los sectores público y privado a nivel local.
Este estudio de derecho comparado analiza cinco aspectos vinculados a la legislación vigente: principales leyes y reglamentos, la perspectiva de género, la autoridad de aplicación, el acceso del estado a los datos personales y la figura del consentimiento tácito. Agradecemos los valiosos aportes de Bruchou Fernandez Madero & Lombardi; KLA Advogados; Gomez-Pinzón Abogados; Dentons Canada LLP; ObradorDigital Legal; Hogan Lovells International LLP; DLA Piper Paris; Goebel & Muthspiel; y Cervieri Monsuarez
