This is a very important thing, which will be the basis for the fact that a business entity will not be tempted to include personal data in civil-law relations concerning the sale of goods or the provision of services, in order to avoid violating the relevant provisions of Article 16 of the Law “On the Protection of Consumer Rights,” said Oleg Prusakov.

Milos Wagner supported the position of the Rospotrebnadzor representative. "Personal data cannot be an object of purchase and sale, an object of economic turnover. Consents to content writing service data processing, which are included in contracts as conditions, cannot be forced," he noted. A person cannot be forced to provide data that is not necessary for the execution of the contract, added the deputy head of Roskomnadzor.

HELP IN THE DIGITAL ENVIRONMENT

In a difficult situation, a person can use the free legal assistance services of the Center for Legal Assistance to Citizens in the Digital Environment, Milos Wagner noted.




Nikolai Veselikhin, Head of the Legal Support and Judicial Practice Department of the Legal Aid Center, during his speech at the webinar, recalled that the Center was created on the initiative of Roskomnadzor in 2021. The Center's branches operate in the Central, Northwestern, Volga and Siberian Federal Districts. According to Nikolai Veselikhin,

In 2023, more than 1.6 thousand people contacted the Legal Aid Center

As a rule, citizens complain about the illegal processing of personal data on the Internet, the dissemination of information that discredits their honor and dignity, as well as the illegal access to account data, he noted. At the same time, almost half - 44% - of citizens' complaints relate to fraudulent actions against them, including the conclusion of a loan agreement by unidentified persons on behalf of the applicant. Agreements for the provision of communication services can also be concluded, the expert said.

Nikolay Veselikhin, Legal Aid Center:

– If you are faced with the conclusion of a loan agreement or other transactions in your name to which you have no relation, contact the Legal Aid Center. We will definitely help .

NEW IN CROSS-BORDER TRANSMISSION

New rules for cross-border transfer of personal data came into force on March 1 of this year. Since then, Roskomnadzor has only banned organizations from cross-border transfer of Russian citizens' data three times, Roskomnadzor specialist Anna Kononenko said at a webinar. In total, the agency received 733 notifications of companies' intention to carry out cross-border transfer of Russian citizens' personal data, she noted.
