📋 Tender Overview
Within the framework of strengthening citizen security, the National Superintendence of Migration and the Supervisory Agency for Private Investment in Telecommunications (Osiptel), through an inter-institutional agreement, will adopt measures for the exchange and validation of information in order to prevent and combat theft, theft and illegal trade in mobile terminal equipment, guaranteeing, in turn, the proper procurement of public mobile telecommunications services.
With the signing of the agreement, Migrations will provide Osiptel with the service of massive comparison of the identity of up to 1,594,327 data of foreign subscribers of the mobile public service, according to the information reported by the operating companies to the regulator.
This data comparison consists of the massive comparison of the records provided by Osiptel with the information stored in the Central Immigration Registry administered by Migrations, in order to verify that the users' data are reliable.
"If inconsistencies are found, the necessary actions will be taken for the correction of the data or the cancellation of the mobile service for not achieving the correction of the same, taking into account that they represent a risk to the safety of users before the possibility of cases of identity theft and the use of these lines in various crimes", said the executive president of Osiptel, Rafael Muente Schwarz.
"This agreement represents more than an institutional collaboration, it represents a strategic alliance between our entities to contribute to citizen security. In this way, the risk of using cell phones in illicit activities will be mitigated," said the national superintendent of Migration, Armando García Chunga.
The request for the massive comparison of data made by Osiptel and the results issued by Migrations will contemplate the provisions of Law No. 29733, Law on Protection of Personal Data and its regulations, and applying corresponding security mechanisms.
Likewise, Migrations will provide access to personnel accredited by Osiptel, to the online consultation service for institutions at the basic level. Meanwhile, the regulator will develop training activities on issues related to the scope of its competence, and those that are of common interest with MIGRACIONES, related to the scope of the agreement.
The agreement was signed by the National Superintendent of Migration, Armando García Chunga and the executive president of OSIPTEL, Rafael Muente Schwarz; and shall be valid for one year.
