What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

Ley 21.719 establishes the Agencia de Protección de Datos Personales (APDP) as data-protection regulator, with an administrative-sanction procedure for infractions classified as leve, grave, or gravísima, escalating fines by tier, and a further judicial review of Agency decisions before the Corte de Apelaciones. Persons affected by a decision of a public body handling their data under this law may also bring a claim before the Corte de Apelaciones under the same procedure. As with the rest of Ley 21.719, this enforcement structure is enacted but not yet in force.
