Abstract: In institutional documents that refer to collaboration between the European Union and Latin American countries, the importance of data circulation between the two continents is highlighted and, therefore, the need for regulatory convergence between the blocs, which must be built. In this context, the objective of the article is to determine whether there is a common basis for developing this intercontinental normative convergence. Normative sources and other documents of legal relevance adopted by countries or regional institutions regarding personal and non-personal data are taken into account. In the case of the European Union, the importance of the Charter of Fundamental Rights in data discipline will be studied. From this analysis it will be possible to infer that Europe and Latin America are important laboratories for developing standards in the field of digital technologies and especially in the area of data. Despite the differences in the institutional framework on the two Continents, regional organizations and countries (especially in Latin America) are looking for solutions to face the challenges of the digital era. In particular, there is a parallelism in the method (use of normative and non-normative sources) and, above all, in the contents (regarding ethical principles and human rights). From this last point of view, in the European Union, with the Charter of Fundamental Rights, but also in Latin American countries, the regulation of personal and non-personal data corresponds to the protection of fundamental rights and interests as constitutionally foreseen. This parallelism constitutes a favorable framework for the exchange of information between the blocks and for the elaboration of common rules. This can be accomplished with formal instruments (such as treaties) and non-formal instruments (model laws, codes of conduct, recommendations, etc.) but the essential aspect is that they present intercontinental convergence. This is a challenge that those in the blocs can face due to the previously mentioned parallelism and the common cultural and legal basis. This dialogue could represent a virtuous example for collaboration with other regions of the world. Keywords: Regulatory convergence. Personal data. Non-personal data. Artificial intelligence.
