Mexico hosted virtually, on 18-19 October, the Global Privacy Assembly, which brought together DPAs from all over the world. Just after the conference, PL&B spoke to Commissioner Josefina Román Vergara and Commissioner Francisco Javier Acuña Llamas from The National Institute of Transparency, Access to Information and Protection of Personal Data (INAI) that is effectively Mexico’s DPA both for the private and public sector at the federal level. Additionally, there is a Data Protection Authority in each State of the Mexican republic in charge of ensuring compliance with the law in the public sector.

The conference was about a human-centric approach in data protection, and creating trust.
