What Dominican Republic Law No. 172-13 on the Protection of Personal Data - ARCO Rights, Consent, Credit-Bureau Supervision and Distributed Oversight requires
Dominican Republic Law No. 172-13 on the comprehensive protection of personal data (enacted 13 December 2013) establishes a Latin American ARCO rights framework - access, rectification, cancellation and opposition - and requires a lawful basis, generally informed consent, for processing. There is no single dedicated national data-protection authority; oversight is distributed. The Superintendency of Banks (Superintendencia de Bancos) supervises and sanctions credit information bureaus (credit-data) under the law, and Pro Consumidor handles consumer-related data matters through conciliation without power to impose administrative fines. The Dominican Republic does not maintain a general registry of data controllers or databases; only credit bureaus register with the Superintendency of Banks. Organisations should map their obligations to these existing supervisors rather than to a single supervisory authority.
