Safeguarding personal privacy by reforming outdated data protection laws in Argentina
Data, as the fuel used by companies and governments, is increasingly transforming the global economy. Argentina had the first robust data protection law in its region, but this is now outdated and needs reform. Democracia en Red, acknowledging that the current legislation does not keep up with the digital transformation, is no longer a protective mechanism and lacks gender perspective, is working on a data protection bill to submit before the Argentine Congress. To back their arguments, they relied on TrustLaw’s support, and the legal assistance provided by nine law firms around the world to develop a comparative study on legislation on data protection applicable to the public and private sectors, focusing on the main legal aspects that should be considered to have a law that ensures privacy and protection of personal data.
