Ecuador adopted its Organic Law on the Protection of Personal Data, the LOPDP, in 2021, modelled closely on the GDPR, with the sanctions regime becoming enforceable from 2023. It is overseen by a dedicated Superintendence of Personal Data Protection. The law sets out GDPR-style legal bases, data subject rights, breach notification, and fines calculated as a percentage of turnover. Consent must be free, specific, informed, and unequivocal for cases that rely on it, an opt-in model. Privacy notices in Spanish are expected. The law applies extraterritorially to processing aimed at people in Ecuador, and cookies that identify users are treated as personal data.
