Protection of Personal Data, in Property Registries and Cadastre

This session is given to the national cadastre and property registry agencies that are members of the RICRP and seeks to share experiences about the processing of personal data for its protection in public cadastre and property registries. The workshop includes an introduction to the protection of personal data in the light of the experiences of Ecuador, Chile, and Spain; followed by a discussion among the participating agencies on the challenges identified for personal data protection.

It will be sought that the conclusions of the workshop yield a compendium of recommendations to strengthen the design of personal data protection policies in property registries and cadastre so that these are considered by the national cadastre and property registry agencies of the OAS Member States that make up the RICRP.

Among the aspects that will be addressed are:

  • Processing of personal data
  • Competences of the registry and cadastre
  • Principles, and
  • Challenges for the protection of personal data

The RICRP carries out this Workshop in response to the initiative of the Direccion de Registros Públicos of Ecuador (DINARP).
