Is it being postponed until 2027? The requirements of the Personal Data Protection Law for companies

The possible extension of Chile’s new Data Protection Law should not be an excuse for companies to remain inactive. Experts stress that it is urgent to review the processing of personal information, as regulatory compliance is an immediate requirement regardless of the law’s effective date. The central change lies in the validation of consent, which eliminates pre-checked boxes and requires verifiable proof that the user understood and freely accepted the use of their data. This means organizations must improve the quality of recorded evidence, ensuring the transparency and authenticity of the consent given. This regulation is relevant to open data because it establishes the ethical and legal foundations for the responsible handling of information. By strengthening citizens’ rights and creating a supervisory agency, it promotes a trust-based environment necessary for sharing open data securely, balancing technological innovation with individual privacy and accountability.
