Issues of personal data protection through the lens of sustainable development and law

Abstract

The paper focuses on the effectiveness of legislation regulating the security of storage, processing, and transfer of personal data. As the main thesis, we assume that it is necessary to give a legal definition of the concept of personal data to build specific legal norms of a protective nature. We describe, examine, and evaluate the provisions of international regulatory legal acts that define the concept mentioned above and correlate with Russian legislation provisions. We thoroughly consider the opinions of scientists on the issue with the justification of our assessments and judgments. The results of the study can be considered recommendations on understanding the definition of personal data, as well as proposals for their protection and development of the system of legal regulation of personal data turnover in various jurisdictions.
