About this regulation

The LFPDPPP was approved by the Mexican Congress on 27 April 2010 and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federacion on 5 July 2010. It regulates the right to informational self-determination by establishing obligations for private-sector data controllers (responsables) processing personal data. The law creates ARCO rights (Access, Rectification, Cancellation, Opposition), mandates privacy notices (avisos de privacidad), requires consent for data processing, regulates cross-border transfers, and established INAI as enforcement authority. Major reforms in 2025 transferred enforcement to the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance (SABG). The law applies to all natural or legal persons in the private sector who process personal data.
