===First Article===
The first article of the law mentions the modifications for another law (Law N° 19.628) to cover protections for personal data. It adds definitions about types of data gathered and people rights ocer data management.
====Responsibility for companies====
It also explains that any company that is national or international or that operates in Chile (also affecting third-parties used by these companies, regardless they operate in the country or not) that manages personal data must be transparent about what kind of data is treated, disallowing the usage of the data for other purposes that are not mentioned and the amount of data gathered must be the minimum needed. Companies are allowed to retain data for a period of time, but they are forced to delete it after it is processed. Companies can ask for retain the data for longer time but they must have a legal permission or receive the user's consent first. The data must be protected in adequate standards to prevent any unauthorized usage, leakage or deletion. A user is allowed to ask for the data that a company has gathered about them and companies are forced to mantain the confidentiality of the data.
====Rights of the owner of the data====
Any individual has the intransferible and indispensable rights of access, rectification, supression, opposition, portability and block their personal data unless another law does not allow it. If the data owner passes away, their heirs may perform the rights of the law. However, heirs may not perform these rights if the owner has forbidden this or any law prevents it.
Opposition: The data owner has the right to oppose to in the following cases:
* When the treatment objective is the legitimate fulfillment of interests of the company.
* If the data gathered is used for publicitary and profiling purposes.
* If the data has been gathered from public databases and there's no legal fundament for its usage.
The right cannot be performed if the data is used for statistic, historic, scientific purposes or any public function or activity.
Block: The owner has the right to temporarily prevent companies to process their data when a supression, opposition or rectification request is done. This right does not affect the storage of data by the responsible company
