Today, December 13, 2024, is a historic day for personal data protection in Chile. After more than seven years of prosecution in Congress, Law No. 21.719, which regulates the Protection and Processing of Personal Data and establishes the Personal Data Protection Agency, has been published in the Official Gazette.

With this milestone, a comprehensive and significant modification is made to Law 19.628 on the “Protection of Private Life”, which, upon its entry into force, will be renamed the “Law on the Protection of Personal Data.”
