Colombia-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Medellín have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

  • Channels that matter most in Colombia: WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
  • Law 1581 of 2012 (Habeas Data) and Decree 1377 of 2013: Larger companies must register their databases with the SIC’s national registry (RNBD).
  • Interface and content languages: Spanish.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
