Law 19: compliance checklist for a NFT & Web3 marketplace
Before launch in Chile, we work through this checklist with your team and advisers:
- Map every personal-data field to a lawful purpose under Law 19.
- Decide where data is hosted and whether data about Chile customers must stay in-region.
- Implement consent records plus data-subject access and deletion workflows.
- Encrypt data in transit and at rest; restrict and log administrative access.
- Prepare a breach-notification procedure that meets the timelines that apply in Chile.
- Confirm with counsel whether licensing or registration with CMF (Fintech Law 21,521) applies to your model.
- Document AML, fraud and transaction-monitoring controls for auditors.
Hosting and data residency for a NFT & Web3 marketplace in Chile
For clients in Chile we usually host on Google Cloud Santiago, with AWS São Paulo as an alternative. The choice balances latency for local users, Law 19 requirements on where personal data may be stored or transferred, and any sector rules your regulator sets. Backups and disaster-recovery copies follow the same residency decision.
Localising your NFT & Web3 marketplace for Chile
Business in Chile is mainly conducted in Spanish. We build interfaces, notifications and documents ready for those languages, format dates, numbers and CLP amounts the local way, and plan releases around the CLT working day.
