Compliance with Data Protection Regulations in Mexico

Mexico is a vital player in the global economic landscape. For companies looking to tap into the boundless potential of this thriving economic hub and expansive consumer market, it is crucial to comply with the stringent data protection regulations in the country - specifically the Federal Law on Protection of Personal Data Held by Private Parties (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de Particulares or LFPDPPP) in its 2025 version - and the control exerted by its supervisory authority the Secretariat of Anti-Corruption and Good Governance (SACBG).

Data processing activities are a routine part of everyday operations across all fields and it is vital to ensure that they are conducted in a lawful way. Without a good data protection compliance system, seemingly routine business activities such as mailings, access requests, and international transfers can give rise to fines of up to US $918,000 or even double that amount for very serious violations.

At FIRST PRIVACY, we help businesses unlock Mexico's business potential while complying with data protection regulations. Our team of multinational experts is well-equipped to assist Mexican entities of multinational corporations in navigating cultural and legal differences and ensuring compliance without losing sight of their business interests.
