Iniciativa 6105 would enact Guatemala's first general personal-data-protection statute, naming as its object the principles, rights, duties, and procedures governing the protection of personal data by any natural or legal person, public or private, for profit or not, that processes personal data.

It builds on the internationally recognized ARCO rights (access, rectification, cancellation, and opposition) and defines terms including base de datos, custodio de la base de datos, bloqueo de datos, and consentimiento. Deputy José Alejandro De León Maldonado presented the bill to the plenary, which referred it to the Comisión de Transparencia y Probidad for study and opinion.

That commission issued a favorable opinion (dictamen favorable) on and sent the bill to the plenary to decide.
