The National Executive Branch introduced the Personal Data Protection Bill of Law in Congress. It proposes significant amendments to the current regime and introduces mandatory provisions that are novel to Argentine legislation. The Bill of Law includes references to its extraterritorial application in certain cases, an expanded definition of sensitive data, mandatory reporting obligations of certain security incidents, and will recognize legitimate interest as a legal basis for the processing of personal data, among other changes to the current regime However, there are no expectations for this Bill to be approved.
Although the legislative process to incorporate Convention 108+ (on the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data) into local legislation has been completed, the Convention is not yet in force.
