The European branch of the company contacted the KIAP law office with a request to provide clarification regarding the provisions on cross-border transfer of personal data. The need to provide clarification was caused by a corresponding request from the Federal Supervision Agency for Information Technologies and Communications. The branch wanted to prepare a response to this request by familiarizing themselves in detail with Russian regulation in this area and analysing the reasons that led to such a request.
KIAP employees prepared a relevant opinion and also presented proposals for improving the structure and operational activities of the company in terms of personal data. Based on negotiations with the client and discussion of the proposed changes, a response to the Federal Supervision Agency for Information Technologies and Communications request was prepared, which allowed eliminating the regulator’s requests about the company and avoiding large fines.
