Since 2017, TEDIC has been part of the Personal Data Coalition of Paraguay<\/u><\/a>, an interdisciplinary group whose goal has been the enactment of a comprehensive law on personal data that complies with international human rights standards and ensures autonomy over our personal data, security and transparency on the collection of the same by companies, organisations and state institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment to human rights and the privacy of individuals in the context of rapid technological innovation has led us to advocate actively in the National Congress. This article seeks to reflect our actions and results in this path that, despite not having culminated, has had significant progress during 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A working and meeting route<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In January<\/strong>, our first meeting was with Congresswoman Rocio Vallejos<\/u><\/a>, secretary of the Partido Patria Querida (PPQ) bench, member of the Social Development, Population and Housing<\/u><\/a> Committee and president of the Constitutional Affairs<\/u><\/a> Committee in the Chamber of Deputies, with whom we held a meeting and to whom we presented our project for her support. In March, we continued with Congresswoman Kattya Gonz\u00e1lez<\/u><\/a>, leader of the National Encounter Party (PEN), member of the Science and Technology<\/u><\/a> Committee and vice-chairwoman of the Accounts and Budget Execution Control Committee<\/u><\/a> in the Chamber of Deputies. In June, we had a fruitful meeting with Congressman Rodrigo Blanco<\/u><\/a>, member of the Authentic Radical Liberal Party (PLRA), president of the Children, Youth and Development<\/u><\/a> Committee and vice-president of the National Defense, Security, Intelligence and Internal Order<\/u><\/a> Committee. To each of them, we extended our proposals and jointly analysed the need for regulation in accordance with our times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These advocacy meetings throughout the year, together with the Paraguayan Personal Data Coalition and the Science and Technology Commission of the Honourable Chamber of Deputies, with the support of different deputies, allowed the bill to be included three times in the agenda of the deputies’ sessions, on June 14, 21 and 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 14<\/u><\/a>, the bill was on item 11 of the agenda, but was not dealt with, and appeared on item 17 of the June 21<\/u><\/a> agenda, with a new recurrence on item 18 of the June 28 agenda<\/u><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, the bill was not approved, but we saw an important interest from deputies to put this discussion on the table and deal with it again in the new legislative period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
