Liability for non-compliance with the requirements on the localization of personal data of Russian nationals to become more stringent
On December 2, 2019, Federal Law No. 405-FZ entered into force. This act significantly increases administrative liability for violations of the requirements on the localization of databases containing personal data of Russian nationals. The localization requirement was first introduced into the Russian legislation in 2014 and imposed an obligation to locate servers with the personal data of Russian nationals only in the territory of the Russian Federation.
