Personal data protection: preparing for the new law

Law No. 21,719 enters into force on 1 December 2026.

The development

Law No. 21,719 amends the personal data protection regime and creates the Personal Data Protection Agency. It is scheduled to enter into force on 1 December 2026.

Although published in 2024, preparation for its implementation is a key issue on the 2026 business agenda.

Why it matters

Businesses should review the customer and employee data they collect, their legal grounds for processing, supplier contracts and procedures for handling data subjects' rights.
