Government proposes delaying the entry into force of the Data Protection Law until December 2027

▤ Summary

The government proposed delaying the enforcement of Chile’s new Personal Data Protection Law until December 1, 2027. Officials said the extra time will help agencies, municipalities, and private companies prepare systems, processes, and internal structures for compliance. The proposal also would strengthen the Personal Data Protection Agency by expanding its board and moving up the appointment of its first council. The measure aims to reduce uncertainty, avoid rushed implementation costs, and ensure the new regime starts with clearer rules and adequate institutional capacity.
