Organizational and legal mechanism of protection of personal data

Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of the organizational and legal mechanism of personal data protection. The concept of "personal data protection" is developed in detail in domestic jurisprudence. The law regulates legal relations related to the protection and processing of personal data, with the aim of protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of a person and a citizen, and, first of all, the right to non-interference in personal life, in connection with the processing of personal data. However, the rapid development of information technologies, the digitization of society forces us to improve the organizational and legal mechanism of personal data protection every time, to search for more effective and reliable methods and means of their protection. The actual legal basis for the protection of personal data can be found in the Constitution of Ukraine, the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the Civil Code of Ukraine, the Law of Ukraine "On the Protection of Personal Data", decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, international legal acts, consent to the mandatory use of which was given by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine. It is substantiated that it is the state that acts as the guarantor of the protection of a person's personal data - its task is to create an organizational and legal mechanism that would effectively protect human rights related to personal data, etc. The organizational component of the personal data protection mechanism covers the vertical of state bodies and services, which, in accordance with the powers assigned to them, carry out personal data protection activities. On the basis of the conducted research, we came to the conclusion that the organizational and legal mechanism for the protection of personal data is a set of legal norms and a complex of preventive measures carried out by relevant state bodies and services aimed at protecting personal data, stopping offenses, applying coercion to offenders and restoring violated human rights related to personal data.
