Data Protection

At Magliona Abogados, we promote data protection as a strategic asset. Our approach transforms legal compliance into a value-generating tool that strengthens trust with clients, employees, and business partners.

With Chile’s new Personal Data Protection Law coming into force in December 2026, organizations face the challenge of adapting their processes and structures. Our approach to this challenge consists of a technical, progressive implementation tailored to the characteristics and needs of each client.

Designing an effective compliance program enhances the company’s commercial value. Its implementation ensures operational continuity by mitigating critical risks, while projecting an image of trust and reliability that opens doors in global markets and sets the brand apart from its competitors.

To support the implementation of the new regulation, we offer:

1. Diagnostics and Compliance Programs

We develop comprehensive data protection compliance programs tailored to each organization’s reality:

• Gap assessment and identification: We analyze the organization’s characteristics, operations, potential gaps, and opportunities for improvement in personal data management.
• Data inventory: We identify and classify the data processed, applicable (and implemented) security measures, and relationships with third parties.
• Governance analysis and recommendations: We assess the roles, responsibilities, and information flows within the organization and provide governance recommendations on data protection that are consistent with each organization’s characteristics and internal practices.
• Risk prioritization: We identify critical processing activities and their potential impacts on business decisions.
• Implementation roadmap: Based on our findings, we develop a concrete action plan with tasks, deadlines, and responsible parties to achieve regulatory compliance.

2. Privacy by Design

We advise organizations on the design of products, services, and processes, incorporating data protection from their inception. This approach—known as Privacy by Design—ensures regulatory compliance, mitigates risks, improves the user experience, and prevents future remediation costs.

Our work integrates perspectives beyond the strictly legal: we collaborate with technology, user experience (UX), and information security teams to deliver solutions that work in practice.

3. Data ProtectionImpactAssessments (DPIA)

We conduct impact assessments on critical processing activities (for example, those involving sensitive data, large-scale processing, or others) previously identified. These assessments enable organizations to identify and mitigate risks before implementing new projects, products, or services, in compliance with the requirements of the new regulation.

4. Documentation and Policies

To ensure regulatory compliance, we analyze and prepare the documentation necessary to demonstrate compliance:

• Policies and notices informing about data processing;
• Documentation to demonstrate the lawfulness of data processing;
• Contracts with third parties governing data transfers or processing arrangements;
• Contractual clauses for international data transfers;
• Internal protocols and procedure manuals; and
• Terms and conditions for digital platforms.

5. Data ProtectionOfficer (DPO)

We offer outsourced Data Protection Officer services. This service is especially valuable both for organizations required by law to appoint a DPO (within the framework of an infringement prevention model) and for those that, while not legally required to do so, seek specialized oversight in personal data management. We provide:

• Ongoing legal and technical assistance;
• Communication channel with the Personal Data Protection Agency;
• Regulatory compliance oversight;
• Point of contact for data subjects exercising their rights.

6. Training and Education

We develop training programs (capacity building and awareness), tailored to different roles within the organization: executives, operational teams, technology, marketing, customer service, and others. Training is essential to ensure effective and sustainable compliance over time.

7. Incident Management and Breach Response

We advise organizations on the prevention, detection, and management of security incidents affecting personal data, including:

• Breach response protocols;
• Assessment of notification obligations to the authority and data subjects;
• Coordination with cybersecurity technical teams; and
• Incident documentation and record-keeping.

8. Defense and EnforcementProceedings

We represent our clients before the Personal Data Protection Agency and courts of law in:

• Enforcement proceedings;
• Data subject complaints;
• Authority inquiries and requirements;
• Dispute resolution.

Why Magliona?

We have a highly specialized team integrating professionals with experience in data protection, compliance, labor law, financial, commercial, consumer, and technology law. This multidisciplinary composition enables us to address regulatory complexity from a holistic perspective tailored to each organization’s reality.

We advise organizations in regulated sectors—financial services, healthcare, telecommunications, technology, e-commerce, and retail—and support innovation projects involving data-intensive processing: Big Data and advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, digital platforms, and international data transfers.

Shall we discuss how to prepare your organization before December 2026?
