Personal Data Protection: Draft Law
On June 25, 2025, a draft law for the comprehensive protection of personal data was published on the Open Laws Portal of the Chamber of Deputies, promoted by Deputy Martín Yeza, with the aim of updating the current regulations on the subject (hereinafter, the “Draft“). A draft law is a text that has not yet been formally submitted to the Chamber of Deputies but is in a preliminary research stage.
The Draft emphasizes innovation and balance with technological development, explicitly incorporating concepts such as artificial intelligence or inferred data, as well as the principles of innovation, proportionality, and technological neutrality.
Among other matters, the Draft:
- Provides for the classification of companies according to the level of data processing, with proportional obligations and sanctions.
- Introduces the concept of a regulatory sandbox, which allows the enforcement authority to grant temporary authorizations to pilot projects that propose the processing of personal data in technological innovation contexts.
- Relaxes the requirement for consent in certain cases.
- Establishes a phased entry into force of the provisions.
Although the Draft is more flexible compared to the latest bills that have been submitted to the National Congress in recent years, it represents a significant step forward in the field of personal data protection, as it seeks to update Law 25.326, enacted in the year 2000.
Furthermore, by being available on the Open Laws Portal, it allows citizens and interested parties to provide comments and suggestions.
To consult the articles of the Draft and/or submit comments (until July 25, 2025), you can access it through the following link.
