Legal aspects of big data management in BRICS and SCO countries

This article is devoted to a review of legislation in the field of personal data of countries belonging to the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation, aimed at reflecting the phenomenon of "big data". There were considered the approaches to the definition of "big data", as well as existing points of view on the need for their legal regulation. There was analyzed the existing legislation on personal data for the regulation of the turnover of "big data". It is shown that "big data" does not fully fit into the current legislation on personal data and there is a need to develop a legal definition of the phenomenon of "big data", independent of personal information, as well as understanding and clarifying a number of fundamental concepts of information law, such as for example, “personal secret” in the light of new technological realities.
