Personal Data Processing Policy
Regulatory Framework
This Personal Data Processing Policy is based on the provisions of the Political Constitution of Colombia, particularly Articles 15 and 20, which recognize and guarantee the fundamental rights to habeas data, privacy, good name, and freedom of information. Likewise, it is regulated by the set of normative provisions that make up the general data protection regime in Colombia, including:
- Law 1581 of 2012: Establishes general provisions for the protection of personal data.
- Decree 1377 of 2013: Partially regulates Law 1581 of 2012 regarding the authorization of the data subject for the processing of their data and the mechanisms of information.
- Decree 886 of 2014: Regulates the minimum criteria for the implementation of the Internal Manual of Policies and Procedures.

- Law 1266 of 2008: Regime of financial habeas data and credit information.
- Law 1273 of 2009: Creates a new legally protected asset (the protection of information and data) and includes computer crimes.
- Decree 1378 of 2021: Regulates requirements and conditions for international transfers of personal data.
- Constitutional Court and Council of State rulings: That develop and clarify the scope of the right to habeas data, including Ruling C-748 of 2011, which declared Law 1266 of 2008 constitutional.
- Guidelines and instructions from the SIC: Technical and educational documents that guide the implementation of the Personal Data Protection Management System (SGPDP).
Additionally, since BILLETERA DIGITAL P2P INC engages in activities related to digital and technological financial services, complementary rules on information security, electronic commerce, and financial risk prevention also apply, including:
- Law 527 of 1999: Regulates electronic commerce, digital signatures, and data messages.
- Decree 333 of 2014 and Decree 1499 of 2017: Establish digital security guidelines in Colombia.
- SARLAFT / SAGRILAFT standards issued by the Financial Superintendence and the Superintendence of Companies: Applicable to the prevention of money laundering and terrorism financing, since personal data processing may be linked to due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.
Thus, BILLETERA DIGITAL P2P INC and its product BilleteraP2P guarantee that the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Colombian legislation, under standards of security, confidentiality, legality, and responsibility, applying the principle of accountability required by the SIC.
