Organic law on data protection in ecuador: requirement of an absent regulation.

Abstract

The research addresses the lack of a complementary regulation for the Organic Law on Protection of Personal Data in Ecuador. Despite the existence of the law in question, the absence of a regulation with specific guidelines for its application is revealed as an obvious problem. The objective of the study is to evaluate the impact of this regulatory deficiency on the effectiveness of the protection of personal data in the Ecuadorian legal system. To address this problem, a mixed approach with a descriptive-explanatory scope was adopted. The results highlight the insufficiency of current regulations to effectively regulate the processing of personal data of Ecuadorian citizens.
