Estos son los principales cambios aprobados en el Senado al proyecto de "Protección de datos personales"

Paraguay has made progress in approving its personal data protection law, although the bill will return to the Chamber of Deputies after undergoing significant modifications in the Senate. The proposal seeks to balance individual privacy with citizens’ rights, establishing new consent requirements for minors and redefining access to public information under criteria of general interest. The amendments introduced prioritize the protection of children, requiring parental authorization for minors under the age of fifteen and joint consent for adolescents up to the age of eighteen. Additionally, the governance mechanisms of the regulatory authority have been reformed, and its sanctioning powers have been clearly defined to prevent abuses, ensuring that the National Personal Data Agency’s powers operate within a clear legal framework and do not constitute discretionary authority. This debate is crucial for the open data movement, as the most controversial article restricts access to public information when it involves personal data, unless the harm to private interests outweighs the public interest. This poses a fundamental challenge: determining how to protect privacy without turning the law into an obstacle to administrative transparency, which directly affects civil society’s ability to demand accountability from public officials.
