REGISTRATION

A joint activity between the Technology, Innovation and Science Committee and the Legal Committee, which will address technological advances in this field.

This discussion will focus on the growing importance of technologies in the protection of personal data in a context marked by the imminent entry into force of Chile’s new Personal Data Protection Framework Law. We will analyze how technological tools—such as encryption, access management, the use of intelligent firewalls, and cybersecurity training—are key to regulatory compliance and the prevention of security breaches in public and private organizations, especially SMEs.

Santiago, July 2025 — Last Thursday, the British-Chilean Chamber of Commerce (BritCham Chile) held another meeting of its Legal Committee at the Chamber’s offices. The meeting focused on defining the priority issues to be addressed during the second half of the year.

During the meeting, committee members shared their views and proposals on the most relevant legal challenges facing companies today, both at the regulatory level and in the national regulatory context. These ideas will form the basis for developing content, activities, and meetings that will provide our members with timely, relevant, and practical legal information for their professional and business activities.
