| Russian Duma to prohibit stores from collecting unnecessary personal data |
| 2021-11-11 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Today, on November 11, the State Duma will discuss in the first reading a government bill aimed at protecting consumer rights when demanding surplus personal data from sellers, REGNUM reports. The amendments propose to establish that the seller (performer) does not have the right to refuse to conclude, execute, amend or terminate the contract in connection with the consumer's refusal to provide his personal data. The exceptions are cases when the obligation to provide such data is provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation or is directly related to the performance of the contract with the consumer. In this case, the consumer has the right to require the seller (performer) to provide information on specific reasons and legal grounds that determine the impossibility of concluding, executing, changing or terminating the contract without providing personal data. Such information must be provided to the consumer within seven days from the date of the demand - if the demand was made in writing. If the consumer expressed the demand orally - immediately. The innovation is intended to limit the practice of forced or non-transparent, unconscious collection of personal data of consumers for purposes not related to the conclusion and execution of a contract, the government notes. Many buyers pay attention to the fact that they have to provide an array of personal data, for example, when receiving discount or bonus cards. |
