Art. 7 of Act No. 26.092 stipulates that 98% of the shareholding in the Argentine Company of Satellite Solutions (ARSAT) shall be allocated to the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services, while the remaining 2% shall correspond to the Ministry of Economy and Production. Pursuant to Art. 7 of the Annex, Class A shares shall be held by the national government, and these shares may not be transferred except with the authorisation of a statute enacted by Congress, as they embody the State’s controlling interest. Consequently, 51% of the shares are designated as Class A and are State-owned, whereas the remainder could, in principle, be admitted to public trading. Reports indicate that ARSAT intends to undertake a public offering of shares to divest 49% of the company’s equity to the private sector; however, as of 2025, this has not yet materialised.

Under Art. 12 of the Personal Data Protection Law and Art. 12 of its implementing Regulations, Argentina prohibits the transfer of personal data to countries or international entities that do not guarantee an adequate level of protection. Exceptions apply in specific circumstances, including international judicial cooperation, healthcare purposes or anonymised data for epidemiological studies, financial transactions, compliance with international treaties, cooperation between intelligence agencies in combating organised crime and terrorism, and where the data subject has provided explicit consent. Art. 3 of Regulation No. 60-E/2016 provides a list of jurisdictions deemed adequate, which includes EU and EEA Member States, the UK (which was added to the list with an amendment in 2019), Switzerland, Guernsey, Jersey, the Isle of Man, the Faroe Islands, Canada (only for the private sector), Andorra, New Zealand, Uruguay, and Israel (only in relation to the data handled automatically). It is reported that, in 2025, Argentina formally recognised the United States as an adequate jurisdiction under Argentine law for the purposes of cross-border data transfers, including those involving personal data. Under Art. 1, for transfers to non-adequate jurisdictions, the standard contractual clauses approved by the "Agencia de Acceso a la Información Pública" (AAIP) must be implemented. Complementary regulations provide additional mechanisms for lawful transfers. Regulation No. 198/2023 recognises the Ibero-American Network’s standard contractual clauses as valid safeguards, while Regulation No. 159/2018 establishes requirements for binding corporate rules (BCRs) applicable to intra-group transfers to non-adequate jurisdictions.

Argentina has joined agreements with binding commitments to open transfers of data across borders.

Each Party shall permit the cross-border transfer of information by electronic means, where such activity is for the conduct of the business of a person of a Party. The Parties may establish restrictions on the cross-border transfer of information by electronic means to achieve a legitimate public policy objective, provided that the measure is not applied in a manner that would constitute a means of arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination or a disguised restriction on trade.
In addition, Art. 7.2 of the Mercosur Agreement on Electronic Commerce stipulates that each Member State shall permit the cross-border transfer of information through electronic means, provided that such transfer is undertaken for the purpose of carrying out the commercial activities of a person or entity belonging to a Member State.

The Personal Data Protection Act, together with Decree No. 1558/2001, establishes a comprehensive framework for data protection in Argentina. This legislative regime applies to both public and private entities and governs processing activities conducted within Argentine territory. The Act delineates lawful bases for processing, including consent and contractual arrangements with data subjects. Also, it imposes specific obligations on controllers and processors, such as breach notification requirements and the mandatory registration of databases with the National Registry of Personal Databases, administered by the Argentine data protection authority (AAIP). The AAIP functions as the supervisory authority under the Act and demonstrates considerable regulatory activity, frequently issuing resolutions that interpret the legislation and provide compliance guidance.

Page 5 of the Guide on Data Protection Impact Assessments provides that it is a mandatory requirement for both controllers and processors to undertake a data protection impact assessment.
