The situation with the COVID-19 (‘Coronavirus’) pandemic has raised several red flags regarding data privacy around the world, especially within the EU and its rigorous General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) (‘GDPR’). Jaime Mantilla Compte, Partner at Falconi Puig Abogados, discusses the Ecuadorian response to Coronavirus in relation to data protection and, in particular, with a national data protection bill (‘the Data Protection Bill’) still pending, how the absence of general data protection legislation has affected the regulation of privacy measures during the pandemic.
