Incumplen Semarnat, GN, SSPC y Cofepris con protección de datos: INAI

The National Institute for Transparency, Access to Information, and Personal Data Protection (INAI) has revealed a critical compliance gap in Mexico, where the vast majority of federal institutions fail to fully protect personal data. This widespread non-compliance underscores a systemic failure in safeguarding citizens’ information, highlighting the urgent need for stronger oversight mechanisms and accountability within both the public and private sectors to prevent data vulnerabilities. Rebuilding public trust requires immediate adherence to privacy notices, which serve as the foundation for informational self-determination. By clearly communicating how data is collected, used, and stored, institutions empower individuals to make informed decisions about their personal information. The INAI’s recent training initiatives aim to equip public servants with the practical tools necessary to implement these notices effectively, addressing the root cause of the transparency deficit. This issue is vital to open data because true transparency and data openness can only exist when privacy rights are rigorously respected. Without robust protection frameworks, the sharing of public data risks compromising individual rights rather than serving the public interest. Strengthening data protection laws and ensuring institutional compliance are prerequisites for fostering a trustworthy environment where open data can thrive alongside personal security.
