Turbulence of Personal Data, between Public and Private

Abstract

This article is the product of a bibliographic review, which objective was to show evidence of Habeas Data as an instrument in the Mexican Legal System. The method of analysis was applied, with a qualitative approach, non-experimental design, under a transversal documentary-bibliographic level. After the documentary review it was found that: The protection of personal data in Mexico has a Constitutional guarantee and powers known as ARCO rights, linking to the sphere of the right to information and freedom of expression, but also as a limit to protect the privacy, intimacy and dignity of individuals. The limit of the right to information is the respect that must be given to the private life of people who are the only ones empowered to give their consent for their information to be disseminated. It is concluded that personal data protects the sensitive data of the citizen that, if revealed, could cause impairment of their dignity or discrimination based on their preferences. The mexican legislation requires an analysis of the function and efficacy in the exercise of this right, as well as the establishment of the Habeas Data of Comparative Law.
