Abstract

NARANJO GODOY, Lorena. El dato personal como presupuesto del derecho a la protección de datos personales y del hábeas data en Ecuador. Foro [online]. 2017, n.27, pp.63-82. ISSN 2631-2484.

The Ecuadorian Constitution on its Article 66 - numeral 19 recognizes the datum itself and the personal information as objects of the right to protection of personal data. However, to acknowledge that protection, the Ecuadorian jurisprudence requires the data to have an informative purpose. Likewise, while Article 92 of the Ecuadorian Constitution recognizes documents, genetic data, banking information, personal data files and information about goods as elements to be protected by habeas data; that list of elements may not be enough to explain the spirit of the right to protection of personal data and may cause confusion or even not be effective to guarantee the right.

Keywords : protection of personal data; hábeas data; personal datum; personal information.
