Argentina: Introduced Personal Data Protection Bill including cross-border data transfer regulation

On 4 November 2022, the Agency of Access to Public Information (AAIP) submitted the Personal Data Protection Bill to the Argentinian Congress. The Bill includes a series of proposals derived from the previous public consultation. The Bill establishes that cross-border data transfers will be limited to countries providing an adequate level of protection. In the case the state where the data is to be transferred does not provide the same level of protection, the international transfers will be authorized based on an adequacy decision or adequate guarantees, including legally binding and enforceable instruments between the national authorities and international agreements that recognize model contractual clauses, binding corporate rules or data protection certification mechanisms.
