NDPDP Evolves Into "More Proactive" Authority

"The Argentinian National Directorate for Personal Data Protection (NDPDP) announced in April 2016, that it launched investigations into Uber, Inc. and Club Atletico Tigre respectively, to determine whether their data processing practices comply with the Argentinian Personal Data Protection Act 2000. The NDPDP requested the companies provide information on their practices in relation to the collection and protection of data within ten days. Florencia Rosati and Ambrosio Nougues, Partner and Counsel at Estudio Beccar Varela respectively said, ""After the presidential elections last year, the NDPDP is going through an internal reorganisation. As a consequence of this, we understand that the NDPDP is evolving into a more proactive authority, thus, compliance with the data protection regulations will become a challenge and an important issue to be dealt with by companies."" Compliance with the data protection regulations will become a challenge and an important issue to be dealt with by companies. "
