Peculiarities of application of modern digital technologies in the field of personal data protection

Our country pays special attention to the criminal-legal protection of natural human rights. Every person is identified in society, needs his uniqueness to be recognized, respected and protected. A person is in dire need of recognition of his identity and impossibility of encroachment on those qualities and properties of his personality that could not be repeated. The requirements of the basic law of the country are such that collecting information about a person seems in the current conditions risky and even dangerous from the point of view of not only ethical behavior, but also criminal liability. A large amount of data about a person can be collected only if there is his personal consent and there is a specific purpose for this, for example, in the framework of operational-search activities, initiated criminal proceedings. Our task as law enforcers is to ensure that any interference in human life is authorized by the state and clearly defined by the goals and objectives of the law, including criminal law, and a specific type of activity, including law enforcement. The development of this problem causes a natural necessity to ensure a reliable protection of information resources and processes, ordering of public relations in this sphere. Our state is just starting to develop and implement in the legislative and executive fields a comprehensive approach to ensure personal data protection by means of criminal law norms. In this regard, it is particularly important that the approach to be developed covers the whole range of problems, and not reduced to the consideration of their technical component only.
