Law 21.719 vs. GDPR
Your GDPR tool
isn't enough for Chile
Your GDPR platform served you in Europe. But Law 21.719 has stricter consent rules, a public sanctions registry, specific SME relief and APDP requirements that generic tools ignore.
Law 21.719 coverage
is what a generic
GDPR tool covers.
On December 1, 2026 the APDP will enforce that remaining 30% — and public sanctions damage your brand.
The problem
GDPR-first platforms fail in Chile because they have no native support for what Law 21.719 specifically requires.
Clones of European tools assume a uniform framework. The Chilean reality is different: mandatory affirmative consent, a public sanctions registry, certified prevention models, standards differentiated by company size and an authority —the APDP— with its own SLAs and rules. Below are the 8 differences that open the gap, and how Auda closes them.

The Auda difference
Built for Chilean reality, not adapted from Europe
Auda is not a GDPR-first clone with a translation layer. It's Chile-first: evidence architecture, local connectors and regulator-ready exports.
Affirmative consent enforced
A confirms_no_pre_ticked_boxes field, a consent lifecycle (snapshots, revocation, revalidation) and a HIGH-severity rule that blocks pre-ticked consent.
Evidence that survives audits
An immutable evidence registry with a 5-year legal retention, scoring snapshots and remediation tasks: auditable proof for prevention-model certification and reputational defense.
ROPA with Chilean templates
6 pre-loaded sector templates, auto-enrichment from the BUK and Defontana connectors, and regulator-ready JSON exports citing Arts. 14 and 16.
ARCO+ engine with a 30-day SLA
Public portal and internal workflow with OTP verification, evidence packages and a 30-business-day tracker from verified receipt — purpose-built for the APDP approach.
Sensitive data with automatic DPIA
The biometric_data and children_data flags trigger automatic DPIAs and are enforced across the ROPA and consent flows.
Designed for Chilean SMEs
Onboarding wizard, templates and lightweight connectors for companies of 10 to 500 employees. Your first score in under 30 minutes, with tiered pricing and a free tier.
In short
A GDPR tool gives you 70%. The remaining 30% is exactly where the APDP will enforce — and where public sanctions become visible.
Auda is built for the full Chilean reality: 21 connectors, Chilean ROPA templates, an ARCO+ engine and evidence that survives audits.
