What it requires

  • Observe article 26 of Ley 1581 de 2012 for every international transfer of personal data to a recipient that is itself a controller.
  • For an international transmission to a processor acting on your behalf, sign a contract that sets the scope of the processing, the activities the processor performs for you and its obligations to the data subject and to you; with such a contract in place the transmission needs neither notice to the data subject nor the data subject's consent.
  • Include in the contract the processor's obligations to process the data under the principles that protect it, to safeguard the security of the databases that hold it and to keep the data confidential.

What it makes you log

Logging duty

Articles 2.2.2.25.5.1 and 2.2.2.25.5.2 require a written contract between controller and processor for an international transmission. The contract is an agreement, not a record of processing, and the articles name no log, keeping period or body that may demand one, so the row records no logging duty. The articles cited here carry no territorial scope clause, so no territorial hook is recorded.
