Abstract

 The article aims to analyze the constitutional and infra-constitutional legislation on the Right to Personal Data Protection in 20 countries of Latin America. Therefore, the study makes use of documentary research and content analysis. The sources used are the Constitution and the infra-constitutional legislation of each country, as well as bibliography. The study shows that, in Latin America, nine countries expressly ensure in their constitutions the right to the protection of personal data as a fundamental one, while eleven do not mention it directly. From the analysis of the infra-constitutional legislation, it appears that, of the 20 countries studied, fourteen have specific legislation, as they have symmetry about the legal concept of personal data and sensitive personal data, as well as establish guiding principles and ensure basic rights to the individual.
