Juan Pablo Arias y la Ley de Protección de Datos: “Hoy los datos personales son el nuevo petróleo”

The entry into force of Chile’s new personal data protection law, inspired by the European model, establishes a robust regulatory framework that redefines the relationship between citizens, institutions, and technology. This change entails the creation of a Data Protection Agency with significant sanctioning powers, marking a turning point where personal information is consolidated as a critical asset requiring immediate and strict protection. The impact is particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises, which must transform their technological, legal, and cultural processes to meet cybersecurity standards previously exclusive to large corporations. The regulation requires the implementation of lawful bases for data processing, the appointment of responsible parties, and the adoption of comprehensive security measures encompassing technology, processes, and staff training, thereby preventing leaks or improper use due to ignorance. This legislation is fundamental to the open data movement because it establishes ethical and legal boundaries regarding which personal information can be shared, processed, or released. By prioritizing privacy and security, the law fosters a culture of accountability that is a necessary precondition for developing reliable and sustainable open data ecosystems, ensuring that innovation and the use of artificial intelligence do not compromise individual rights.
