Five years have passed since Colombian digital rights NGO Fundación Karisma launched its first annual ¿Dónde Están Mis Datos? assessing telecommunication companies’ commitment to transparency and user privacy. Since then, we’ve seen major telecom companies providing more transparency about how and when they divulge their users’ data to the government.

This project is part of a region-wide initiative akin to EFF’s Who Has Your Back? by Latin American and Spanish NGOs. So far, nine countries have joined this project kicked off in 2015 with Karisma’s first report.

Companies' privacy policies have also shown progress over the years, with more useful information being better provided to users on data retention, collection, and processing.

The report’s main findings are below. The full study with a detailed evaluation for each company is available in Spanish.
