About this statute

This text identifies Law 1266 of 2008 and says it regulates habeas data and the handling of personal database information. This article says the law’s purpose is to develop people’s constitutional rights to know, update, and correct information about them in databases, and related rights and guarantees about personal data, information access, and financial, credit, commercial, service, and foreign-source information. This article says the law applies to personal data stored in databases, whether run by public or private entities, but it excludes several categories of data and records. This article defines key data-protection terms, including the data subject, source, operator, user, and categories of personal data. This article sets data-administration principles: data must be truthful, complete, secure, confidential, and used only for a legitimate purpose; it also restricts access and sharing of personal data.
