Roskomnadzor made official comments on latest changes in regulation of personal data

From September 1, 2022, amendments to the law "On Personal Data" will come into force. At present, processors must notify Roskomnadzor (The Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology, and Mass Media) about the start or continuation of any processing of personal data, except when the data is processed in order to protect the security of the state and public order, transport security, or if the processor processes the data exclusively without any automation equipment.

Currently, the updated form of the notice has not been approved; it will become available after approval by separate order of Roskomnadzor. Prior to that, PD processor can fill out a form approved by Order No. 94 dated 30.05.2017 on Roskomnadzor’s Personal Data Portal or can send this notice in hard copy to the local office of the agency at the processor’s place of registration.

After entry into force of Roskomnadzor’s order establishing a new notification form, the processor may send a notice of changes made to the information previously submitted to the Register of Data Processors Processing Personal Data.

No deadline for notifying Roskomnadzor about personal data processing has been determined. Thus, September 1, 2022 is not the deadline for submitting a notice on personal data processing.
