IT’S THE LAW (04/01/2025)
Mexico made changes to its privacy regulations, including the General Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information (“LGTAIP”), the General Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Public Sector Entities (“LGPDPPSO”), the Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (“LFPDPPP”), and Article 37, Section XV, of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration (“LOAPF”). This includes limiting the authority of the LGPDPPSO to review decisions of oversight bodies, creating a National Registry of Data Controllers, and adding the LFPDPPP, which retains core principles of the previous legal framework while introducing substantial changes to Mexico’s approach to data protection.
