What it requires

Before transferring personal data outside Ecuador, obtain an Authority adequacy resolution, put appropriate safeguards in place, or obtain the Authority's case-by-case authorization.
Where you rely on binding corporate rules, make them meet what article 58 requires before transferring on them.
Where you rely on one of the exceptional cases in article 60 instead, use one the article lists.

What this law does

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

Articles 55 and 56 govern the international transfer or communication of personal data, article 57 transfer on adequate safeguards, article 58 binding corporate rules, article 59 the Authority's authorisation for every other transfer, and article 60 the exceptional cases in which a transfer or communication may proceed without one.

A transfer therefore rests on an Authority adequacy resolution, on safeguards meeting the standard the law states, or on the Authority's prior authorisation case by case. The law was published in Registro Oficial Suplemento 459 of 26 May 2021 and is recorded there as in force, which is the day these provisions began to bind.
