PDPL (Argentina)

The Personal Data Protection Law 25,326 (PDPL), Regulatory Decree 1558/2001, and other provisions issued by the National Directorate for Personal Data Protection comprise the current main legal framework of Argentine Data Protection Regulations.

The PDPL outlines obligations and principles related to data processing, including on security and the transfer of data internationally between data controllers or data processors. As the PDPL only applies to reporting databases (PDPL, Section 1), we believe that the PDPL is not applicable to Google in connection with the provision of Google Cloud services.

If a customer determines that the PDPL is applicable to them, it is their responsibility to ensure their compliance. As a part of their compliance assessment, customers can use the information provided below to learn how information is stored, processed, maintained, accessed, and secured in Google Cloud when they use Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace.

Security of the services

Google operates global infrastructure designed to provide state-of-the-art security through the entire information processing life cycle. Google Cloud Platform and Google Workspace run on this infrastructure. A detailed discussion of our infrastructure security can be found in our Google Infrastructure Security Design Overview whitepaper.
