In this latest episode of the PrivacyRules privacyespresso series, the discussion is led for the first time by Luiza Sato, partner at TozziniFreire, who is stepping in as host and joined by Mariano Peruzzotti, partner at OJAMBF, PrivacyRules Argentinian law firm member, to discuss an essential topic that affects many companies, the obligation to register databases in Argentina under the local data protection law.
Key points:
– Argentina’s Data Protection Law requires companies to register their data processing activities with the Argentine Data Protection Authority.
– This obligation applies to both local and foreign companies that collect and process personal data of individuals located in Argentina.
– Foreign companies must now comply with this requirement by completing specific forms and submitting relevant information about their data processing activities.
– There is no annual renewal needed for this registration, and there are no registration fees involved.
– The registration process does not require companies to disclose sensitive or confidential data, only to explain how the data is processed.
– The Argentine Data Protection Authority has become more active in enforcing these requirements, so non-compliance can lead to investigations and potential sanctions.
This episode provides clear insights into the legal framework in Argentina and what companies, both local and foreign must do to comply with the regulations.
