Data protection laws --- Thanks for this good question, Adrienn. A lot of international NGOs would consider themselves bound to follow their own home country laws irrespective of the law of the country where they are working, or both. This can be confusing, especially as data protection legislation varies greatly from country to country and it's possible that international organisations working in Ecuador would be following very different legislation and making life difficult for their local partners.
