P
e r u 14. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND ACCESS
TO GOVERNMENT INFORMATION Article 2, Section 5, of the Constitution establishes that
every person has the right ?to request any information he requires
and to receive it from any public entity, within the legal timeline
and at the cost the request incurs. Excluded is any information
that affects personal privacy and which is expressly excluded by
law or for national security reasons.? Meanwhile, Section 6 states
that every person has the right ?for informational services, whether
computerized or not, public or private, not to provide information
that may affect personal and family privacy.? With the Constitutional Reform the definition of Habeas Data
was introduced, as expressed in Article 200, which states that this
right may be exercised with respect to the rights contained in Sections
5 and 6 of said article of the Constitution. The first one refers
to the possibility of requesting information from the authorities
and of receiving their reply within the legal timeline (Article
2, Section 5). The second one bans the informational services from
supplying or disclosing information related to personal or family
privacy (Article 2, Section 6).
