This document analyses Decree 274/2025, which expands the State’s powers to collect and share personal data within the framework of anti-money laundering and cybersecurity policies. It examines in particular the changes to the Financial Information Unit (UIF) and the relocation of cybersecurity policy within the SIDE, highlighting the risks this poses to privacy and fundamental rights. The analysis contrasts these modifications with Law 25,326 and international data protection standards, in a context already marked by regulatory gaps and a lack of controls. It is complemented by previous findings by the Fundación Vía Libre on the state’s processing of personal data.
