Abstract
In this paper the author refers to the necessity of legal protection in
front of informatic power developed from the XX century. The author
carries out a historical recount on the regulation of Habeas data and
the protection of data law in Latin America. The comparative analysis
allows him to know the countries that have consecrated at
constitutional level the protection of data or of the habeas data.
Later on he carries out a classification of the types and sub types of
habeas data in Latin America, to finish concluding that in the region
an incipient regulation exists and it outlines the urgent necessity to
adopt an American Convention on the protection of data of personal
character.
