Colombian DPA institutes alternative dispute resolution mechanism

According to the Red Iberoamerican Data Protection Network, Colombia's data protection authority, the Superintendencia de Industria y Comercio, rolled out an alternative dispute resolution mechanism for data controllers and data subjects. The virtual tool, SIC Facilita, will help parties mediate and reach an agreement on data protection claims. RIPD noted the benefits of the SIC's system, many of which drew back to time and costs saved for all parties while avoiding court proceedings.
