The regulation introduces technical and proportional criteria for imposing financial penalties for minor and serious violations.
It establishes parameters such as the nature and sensitivity of the affected data, the degree of responsibility of the offender, recurrence, duration of the violation, the economic benefit obtained, and the harm caused.
Additionally, it incorporates models and tables for determining the amount of fines, providing greater predictability and transparency in the sanctioning process.
This new tool aims to ensure a uniform application of the law for both public and private entities and becomes a key reference for all actors involved in the processing of personal data in the country.
