What does the Data Privacy Act apply to?

The Data Privacy Act applies to any natural or juridical persons involved in the processing of personal information, making it a broad and inclusive regulation. This means that both individuals (natural persons) and organizations or companies (juridical persons) are subject to the provisions of the Act, regardless of their legal status or structure. The emphasis is on the processing of personal information, which encompasses a wide range of activities performed by various entities, not limited by their nature or location.

This comprehensive application ensures that all stakeholders engaged in handling personal data are held accountable for privacy and security measures, promoting a culture of data protection. Consequently, the Act's reach is designed to protect individuals' data while facilitating responsible data management by all types of entities that process this information.
