Data Protection Compliance in Chile
Chile's personal data framework was substantially strengthened. What your Chilean entity collects, on what basis, now has to be answerable.
What this involves
Chile's personal data regime has been reformed substantially, moving from a light-touch statute toward a framework with real obligations, a supervisory authority and meaningful sanctions. Companies that treated data protection as a formality now have a genuine compliance workload.
For a Chilean subsidiary of a foreign group, the work is rarely starting from zero — but it is also rarely a copy-paste from the parent's programme. What data the Chilean entity collects, on what legal basis, who it shares with and how it moves abroad all need to be established locally.
What we handle

What personal data your Chilean operation collects, from whom, why, where it lives and who has access — the foundation everything else depends on.

Vendor and processor contracts
The data protection terms your contracts with providers need, including those with your own parent company.
Cross-border transfers
How data moves out of Chile to the group or to service providers, and what has to be in place for that to be lawful.
