Análisis de la privacidad en Ecuador : Análisis de brechas de privacidad en Ecuador producto de regulación de transparencia.

Abstract

Transparency and e-government initiatives have been fundamental to the development of public administration in Ecuador. This has had a positive impact on citizens through the benefits that these initiatives offer, which obfuscates seeing the negative impacts that these entails related to privacy. This paper analyzes this problem based on the existing regulation in Ecuador related to these initiatives, analyzes the information revealed by these initiatives and identifies the latent risks and impact on the privacy of citizens. This is done through the analysis of the information revealed by the most relevant public consultation systems in Ecuador, and the Transparency section of the websites of the public entities obliged by LOTAIP. The results of this work are presented through summary information and statistical graphs that allow a simple understanding of the problems presented and the effects they represent for citizens in Ecuador. Finally, strategies are proposed to reduce the risks and impact that these initiatives imply for citizens related to their privacy.
