Roskomnadzor has proposed to limit the collection of personal data in the Russian Federation
Roskomnadzor proposed to limit the collection of personal data to protect personal information.
Companies will be able to collect only the information that is truly necessary.
The purpose of this proposal is to protect citizens’ personal information, writes RBC .
Roskomnadzor explained that it plans to develop new rules that will be mandatory for all organizations working with personal data.
At the moment, this initiative is at the discussion stage.
Under the proposal, companies would only be able to collect data to perform specific tasks.
Instead of receiving data directly from citizens, organizations will receive it from authorized bodies when necessary.
Nowadays, personal data is often collected without a clear purpose for its use.
Roskomnadzor proposed to improve the protection of personal data by introducing standards.
