Data Protection Officer Services in Chile
Chile's Law 21.719 introduces the Data Protection Officer role, in force from December 2026 — we assess whether you need one and can act as your outsourced DPO.
What this involves
Law 21.719 modernizes Chile's personal data framework along GDPR-style lines and takes full effect in December 2026. Among its new obligations is the Data Protection Officer: an independent oversight role responsible for monitoring compliance, keeping the organization's record of processing activities, advising on privacy impact assessments, and acting as the point of contact for both individuals and the data protection authority.
We determine whether your organization is required to appoint a DPO under the new thresholds, and we provide the role as an outsourced service for companies that need the function without adding a full-time specialist in-house — a common and practical choice for mid-sized operations in Chile.
