The state will collect personal data of Russians wherever possible, and will store centrally

Sites, watchmen and security guards will be required to upload the collected data to a special portal.

In Russia, they are going to create a special portal to control the dissemination of personal data. The idea is discussed by a working group in the presidential administration, headed by Igor Schegolev, an adviser to the president of Russia, Izvestia writes .

Now a person’s passport is checked in various institutions: hostels, business centers, schools, etc. Each guard / watchman enters information into the internal documentation - a time card, a log of visits, and so on. This fragmentation of information is a big problem, since it is very difficult to work with unstructured data. “As a result, these data do not appear where you are,” explains Ilya Massuh, President of the Information Democracy Foundation.

Centralized storage and processing of personal data should formally make life easier for Russians and improve the protection of confidential information: “The idea is that people have the opportunity to see who and why they gave permission to process their personal data,” says Ilya Massuh. - We ourselves are faced with this, for example, when once insured the car, and we do not know who then calls for another 10 years. With banking structures the same story. They took out a loan from the bank, but then collection agencies call and all kinds of incomprehensible personalities. This is a direct trade in personal data. ”

The portal will include your full name, passport data, phone numbers, e-mail, photos and other information collected in thousands of independent points of collection of personal data.

The head of the Russian Association of Electronic Communications, Sergey Plugotarenko, is convinced that systematization of everything that relates to working with the personal and behavioral characteristics of citizens is a long-time trend in the work of commercial corporations and the public sector:

We all know that data is being collected and, perhaps, “somewhere down there.” There are a lot of tales and legends about this, and in the most professional environments, ”said Plugotarenko. - A modern person, who is also a user of online services, quite fully (consciously and not) leaves his “electronic footprint” in various systems, and the existence of supersystems that build a whole “electronic cast of human life” along these “tracks” fantasy. In this regard, the initiative of the state to take over the work of such systems, keep a register of operators of personal data, monitor their work and provide the citizen with information about where, who, how he processes his personal data, is very logical and timely.
