Statutory Law 1581 of October 17 of 2012 establishes the minimum conditions to carry out the legitimate treatment of personal data of customers, employees, and any other natural person. Paragraph k) of article 18 of said law obliges those responsible for the processing of personal data to "adopt an internal manual of policies and procedures to guarantee adequate compliance with this law and especially, to attend to queries and claims" . Article 25 of the same law orders that data processing policies are mandatory, and that non-compliance will lead to sanctions. These policies cannot guarantee a level of treatment lower than that established in Law 1581 of 2012. Chapter III of Decree 1377 of June 27, 2013, regulates some aspects related to the content and requirements of the Treatment of Information Policies and Privacy Notices.
