Amendments to a number of laws on processing of personal data

May 8, 2013

Vladimir Putin signed Federal Law On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation following the Adoption of the Federal Law On Ratification of the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data and the Federal Law On Personal Data.

The Federal Law amends 14 legislative acts related to processing of personal data, among them the Labour Code, the Civil Procedure Code, and a number of federal laws.

The amendments aim to protect confidentiality and ensure protection of personal data in areas of activity regulated by these laws, and also to clarify in which cases an individual’s consent is required for processing of their personal data and in which cases such consent is not required.

The amendments were made in order for Russia to full its obligations following its ratification of the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data.
