Desarrollo jurisprudencial del hábeas data correctivo en el Ecuador: Límites y alcances a partir de la Corte Constitucional

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of habeas data is to guarantee that every person has the right to know and control their personal data, information that identifies or makes them identifiable. The existence or dissemination of incorrect or untrue information can impact several related rights, such as the right to a good name, the right to honor, and informational self-determination. The Constitutional Court of Ecuador has determined the types of habeas data, and with it, it has also opened up a line of jurisprudence, a product of the particularities of the specific cases brought to its attention. While there is certainly a lack of understanding regarding jurisdictional guarantees and admissibility, its attempt at distortion has succeeded in defining the limits and scope for its filing.
