Mexico private-sector data protection law, Article 11: a purpose not in the privacy notice needs the person's consent again (Ley Federal de Protección de Datos Personales en Posesión de los Particulares (DOF 20 March 2025, text in force with the last reform DOF 14-11-2025), Arts. 2(IV) and 11)

In Spanish. Article 2(IV) defines consent as a free, specific and informed expression of the person's will. Article 11 says processing must stay within the purposes in the privacy notice, and if the controller wants to process the data for a different purpose it must obtain the person's consent again. Licensing customer or staff records to a third party for AI training is a purpose no existing notice names, so fresh consent is needed unless the data is first dissociated (see the Article 9 entry). Text read on the Chamber of Deputies' consolidated version; the Official Gazette (dof.gob.mx) did not answer from here.
