Consent to personal data processing: practice of Roskomnadzor and Russian courts

Consent to personal data 
processing: practice of 
Roskomnadzor and Russian courts

On 31 July 2018, the Federal Service for Supervision in the area of communications, information technology and mass communications (Roskomnadzor) held a traditional Open Day coincided to the anniversary of adoption of the Federal Law No. 152-FZ 'On Personal Data' ('Personal Data Law').

The Deputy Head of Roskomnadzor Mr. Pankov told about Roskomnadzor's attitude to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that became effective on 25 May 2018 and presented some recommendations on compliance with the GDPR requirements for Russian personal data operators that are subject thereto.

One of such recommendations concerns the consent to personal data processing: a separate consent needs to be obtained for personal data processing for each purpose of such processing, specifying in the consent the list of personal data processed, the procedure and conditions for the consent withdrawal, as well as specifying provisions on third parties to whom the personal data are planned to be transferred to or who are supposed to be engaged under the assignment agreement.

The Deputy Head of the Office for Protection of Rights of Personal Data Owners Ms. Gafurova provided the review of the most frequent complaints of individuals to Roskomnadzor in connection with the actions or omission of operators that violate the Russian statutory requirements on personal data. The number of such complaints increased from 6 thousand in 2008-2011 up to 85 thousand in 2016-2018.
