Personal Data Protection Law 25: compliance checklist for education & EdTech software
Before launch in Argentina, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:

- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.

- Review contracts and data-processing agreements for every third-party service.
Hosting and data residency for education & EdTech software in Argentina
For clients in Argentina we usually host on AWS São Paulo, Azure Brazil South or Google Cloud Santiago.

Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
