El derecho de Protección de datos personales en la jurisprudencia ecuatoriana y comparada

Abstract

Abstract: The present work, entitled "The Right to Personal Data Protection According to Ecuadorian and Comparative Jurisprudence," outlines the concepts defined by various professionals on the subject, the regulations in force in Ecuador to guarantee the protection of personal data, as well as the international treaties that govern this right. It also highlights the importance of this right in Ecuador and several other countries, emphasizing that it has been recognized as a constitutional right. This recognition obliges the State to ensure its protection in a digital era, where, with the help of technology, it is possible to identify which entities hold personal data in their repositories and what type of processing they are required to provide. Accordingly, the paper discusses constitutional jurisprudence from Ecuador, Colombia, and Spain, concluding with an analysis of the jurisprudential trend regarding the archiving, correction, or deletion of such data at the request of the data subject.
