Peru: What is the personal data protection policy?
The current Peruvian law on Personal Data Protection Policy – Law 29733 – aims to ensure the people’s fundamental right to the protection of their privacy. Therefore, the treatment of their personal data must be proportional and safe according to the consensual purposes by such people or authorized by law, thus preventing that such data are trafficked and/or used illicitly.
In UR Global, as knowledgeable experts of the current Peruvian legislation, we take care of drawing up the Disclaimer and Personal Data Protection Policy for the companies in Peru.
Importance of the development of personal data protection policy
The personal data protection policy in Peru establishes obligations to the companies in order to ensure an appropriate treatment of personal data of their clients, suppliers, workers and other people linked to their activity. Furthermore, this legislation and its regulation recognize the rights of people to whom this data belongs.
The main obligations to comply with the personal data protection will be as follows: register with the Authority the Personal Data Bank (BDP) and obtain an informed consent by the holders of personal data.
In accordance with the Law definition, a Personal Data Bank is a completely organized set on information of natural persons. This information can be found stored in automated support (such as documents in Word, Excel, PDF and even in images, audio, audiovisual recorded in computers or company’s servers, e-platforms, files on the cloud, etc.) or non-automated support (such as files and physical recorders, printed invoicing documents, workers’ files, etc.).
