The Iberoamerican Data Protection Network (RIPD), arises from the agreement reached at the Iberoamerican Data Protection Meeting (EIPD) held in La Antigua, Guatemala, from June 1 to 6, 2003, with the assistance of representatives of 14 Ibero-American countries.
Aware of the important role that data protection plays in the framework of the information society and the growing commercial relations between Ibero-American citizens, the Network is constituted as a response to the need to promote, maintain and strengthen a close and constant exchange of information, experiences and knowledge between the Ibero-American Countries, through the establishment of channels of dialogue and collaboration in the field of personal data protection. Likewise, the Network is open to all those Governments of Ibero-American countries that wish to promote and execute initiatives and projects related to this matter. The Network aims to create an integrating forum that allows understanding, analyzing and attending to a reality that involves various social actors, both in the public and private sectors.
Colombia participated in the 2nd Ibero-American Data Protection Meeting held in La Antigua, Guatemala that established the basis for the the Ibero-American Data Protection Network, and thereafter Colombia has been actively participating in the Network being the host country of the Ibero-American Meeting in numerous occasions such as in 2004, 2008, and more recently in 2013. Likewise, in 2017 during the XV Ibero-American Meeting on Data Protection Colombia participated in the approval of the Personal Data Protection Standards for Ibero-American States that have had the support of the European Commission itself and have been a real boost for the regulation of the protection of personal data in the region.
