As Hiperderecho’s report highlights, “e consider this to be of utmost importance because there is no free and informed consent if the information presented regarding the processing of personal data is not in an understandable language.” This report, the fourth evaluating Peru’s major telecom operators, included a new category: whether telecom companies make available webpages, contracts, and/or privacy policies in native languages, like Quechua and Aymara. In those categories, all four companies earned at least partial scores. The report also looked at companies’ privacy policies, digital security practices, and human rights policies. Only Movistar and Claro received scores for publishing information about government requests for user data, disclosing guidelines they follow when responding to such requests, explicitly committing to require judicial orders before handing user data to authorities, and disclosing practices for notifying users about such government requests. In four out of eight evaluated categories, Bitel and Entel received no credit, highlighting their lack of transparency regarding government requests for getting access to user personal data. Even though all four companies-Bitel, Claro, Entel, and Movistar-have improved their marks since the first edition in 2015, the disparities in the latest results are evident. ![]() Except for the user notification category, Movistar received full credit in all other evaluated parameters.

Peru’s top two telecom operators Movistar (Telefónica) and Claro (América Móvil) continued to earn high marks for being transparent about government requests for user data, while competitors Bitel (Viettel) and Entel slightly improved practices promoting human rights, but in general lagged behind, according to a new report issued today from digital rights group Hiperderecho. ![]()
