Metaverso y su impacto en los derechos a la protección de datos personales.

Abstract

With the emergence of new communication and information technologies, new challenges to the protection of users' personal data also arise. It is a reality that in Ecuador the current regulations on data protection are not very specific, so that the constitutional right to data protection of citizens is often constantly affected. With the emergence of a new virtual platform that promises to be a parallel reality for users such as the metaverse, Ecuadorian legislation must adapt to possible violations of data protection rights that may arise. Thus, our Personal Data Protection Law published in the Official Gazette Supplement No. 459 of May 26, 2021, must foresee all these situations in order to comply with its main purpose: To guarantee the right to the protection of personal data, which includes the access and decision on information and data of this nature.
