Mexico’s new data protection regime enters into force
After some controversy surrounding the dismantling of several autonomous watchdogs in Mexico, including Mexico’s Institute for Information Access and Transparency (INAI), the updated data protection program, the General Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information (LGTAIP) took effect in Mexico on March 21, 2025. At the same time, the General Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Public Sector Entities (“LGPDPPSO”), the Federal Law on the Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (“LFPDPPP”), and an amendment to Article 37, Section XV, of the Organic Law of the Federal Public Administration (“LOAPF”) also came into force.
