There is no regulator for data protection in Guatemala. However, the Ombudsman has assumed an active role in safeguarding individuals' right to privacy by conducting investigations and declaring violations of data privacy rights in cases in which private information has been commercialised, transferred, or processed without individuals' consent. The Ombudsman has the authority to file amparo before the Constitutional Court, seeking relief for human rights violations, or notifying the District Attorney's office of the Public Ministry of the investigation and initiation of criminal procedures.
