No. Doxxing in Peru is illegal under multiple statutes, including the Ley N° 30096 (Cybercrime Law) and the Código Penal (Art. 154-A). Unauthorized disclosure of personal data violates privacy rights, triggering criminal liability and fines up to 180 UIT (S/ 945,000 in 2026). The Defensoría del Pueblo and Dirección General de Transparencia y Anticorrupción enforce compliance, with recent 2026 amendments expanding penalties for digital harassment.
Key Regulations for Doxxing in Peru
- Ley N° 30096 (Art. 2-A): Criminalizes the dissemination of private data without consent, punishable by 3–6 years imprisonment. Applies to both individuals and corporate entities.
- Código Penal (Art. 154-A): Targets “violence against privacy,” including doxxing, with penalties escalating if the act incites violence or defamation.
- Ley N° 29733 (Data Protection Law): Requires explicit consent for personal data processing; unauthorized sharing breaches compliance, subject to Autoridad Nacional de Protección de Datos Personales sanctions.
Peruvian courts have upheld convictions under these frameworks, as seen in Exp. N° 00012-2023 (Lima Superior Court, 2024), where doxxing led to a 4-year sentence. Social media platforms hosting such content face joint liability under Decreto Legislativo N° 1353 (2026), mandating proactive moderation.
