Vulneración al derecho a la intimidad y a la protección de datos personales por el uso inadecuado de datos biométricos en Ecuador.

Abstract

Currently, in Ecuador the use of biometric data has increased abruptly, which is why the Personal Data Protection Law was implemented, which is responsible for regulating the proper use, handling, storage and processing of people's personal data, guaranteeing legal, transparent and secure treatment, but due to the lack of technical, specific and clear guidelines or guidelines, it could lead to a conflict between regulatory effectiveness and the effective guarantee of rights. The objective of this research work is to analyze our Constitution and regulations regarding the Protection of Personal Data, focusing specifically on the violation of the right to personal and family privacy as well as the protection of personal data. Violations caused by the inappropriate use of biometric data, due to legal loopholes that we have within our regulatory framework that directly harm the privacy, autonomy and dignity of people, for this reason we will highlight the importance of issuing specific specialized regulations that reinforce the protection of personal data, in order to comply with the effective guarantee of rights framed in our Constitution.
