In developed countries, individual rights and freedoms are fixed in the Constitution and guaranteed. Among other guarantees, there is the inviolability of the subject: physical and all that relates to his life. The provisions of the Constitution are enshrined in special laws, including those that require organizations and enterprises to obtain consent from a citizen to process personal data within their authority.
This legal act defines the basic concepts and legal consequences of unauthorized use of any information about a person. Life in any highly organized society implies the inevitable entry into relationships with other people, state and private organizations. A personal statement of consent to the processing of personal data is a prerequisite for performing any actions with them.
The need for law
With the development of computer technology and the Internet in our country, the problem of protecting confidential information has become acute . Databases were traded completely freely, responsibility for disclosing information by officials did not come. Passport data of any person could be used for illegal purposes. With the adoption of the relevant legislation, a document appeared regulating the relations arising in this area. Now a legal entity or an individual must first obtain consent to the processing of personal data from the subject and only then use it. Information of a confidential nature should be properly stored, excluding free access to it.
The basic principles of the law
The Russian regulatory framework in this area is among the most advanced and progressive. It is distinguished by a deep elaboration of principles and goals, for example, all databases on citizens are subject to mandatory registration by the authorized body. Responsibility for the implementation of this action lies with managers.
The consent of the subject to the processing of personal data is not necessary in cases stipulated by law. We are talking about the information that is necessary to maintain
state secrets, the activities of the courts, tax inspections, state security agencies and internal affairs. The document does not apply to the use of information for personal use.
Terms of application of the law
Any actions with personal information are carried out only in accordance with the law. Consent to the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the economic, property interests of the subject, his health and life. The media must adhere to these principles .
When conducting scientific, sociological research, all information used and prepared for publication must be anonymized. Consent to the processing of personal data may serve as the basis for their becoming publicly available and can be disseminated in the media.
