This article examines the Chinese normative acts that regulate personal data protection. The author reviews the questions of restrictions pertaining to personal life due to introduction of social score system. Analysis is conducted on the “system of social rating” (“social credit”) formed on the basis of government services. The article presents the examples of civil right restrictions due to low rating in the sphere of employment, public housing, reception of subsidies, basic social benefits, and loans at low interest rates. The practice of “social condemnation”, when the short clips are shown before the main film in a movie theatre naming local people who have failed to pay off debt. The conclusion is made that the social score system controls activity of a person in all spheres of social life – from business to family relations, from credit default to violation of traffic rules. The author notes that biggest unfairness of this system pertains to the citizens who buy videogames, spent long time in social network, spread fake news, which leads to restriction of high-speed Internet. It is also underlines that there is virtually no legal framework for implementation of such system or legal acts that regulate the score system, and the corresponding “guiding recommendations” of the State Council of the People’s Republic of China contain pretty vague formulations.

All these elements of the personal information culture are interconnected and interdependent. It is concluded that the topic of personal data protection, which has reached a new level, has become especially relevant at the present stage of development of the information society.

It is proposed to interpret the information culture of an individual as a reflection of a set of material and intellectual values of man, which allow to effectively apply various methods of working with information, including being a participant in information relations. A promising study in the field of information culture of an individual will be the development of the structure of this category and its relationship with other legal categories of information law. A particularly important issue that will require legal regulation will be the field and technology of using artificial intelligence as a phenomenon that will not only help to make a quantum leap in medicine, science, education, but also carries great security risks.

The subject of this research is the problems emerging in the process of establishment and development of the Institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. Special attention is turned to the comparison of Soviet and Western models of protection of private life and personal data. The authors used interdisciplinary approach, as comprehensive and coherent understanding of socio-legal institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation is only possible in inseparable connection with examination of peculiarities of the key historical stages in legal regulation of private life of the citizen. After dissolution of the Soviet political and legal system, the primary task of Russian law consisted in development and legal formalization of the institution of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms, first and foremost by means of restricting invasion of privacy by the state and enjoyment of personal freedom. It is concluded that the peculiarities of development of the new Russian political and legal model significantly impacted the formation of the institution of personal data protection in the Russian Federation. The authors believe that the Russian legislator and competent government branches are not always capable to manage the entire information flow of personal data; therefore, one of the priority tasks in modern Russian society is the permanent analysis and constant monitoring of the development of information technologies.

Penelitian dilakukan dengan menganalisis Undang-Undang Pornografi, Undang-Undang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik, Peraturan Pemerintah tentang Penyelenggaraan Sistem Transaksi Elektronik serta Peraturan Menteri Komunikasi dan Informasi tentang Perlindungan Data Pribadi. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa data/dokumen yang dibuat untuk diri sendiri dan kepentingan sendiri bukanlah hal yang dilarang oleh undang-undang dan justru harus dilindungi baik oleh tiap manusia maupun negara. Pembuatan video mesra ini termasuk dalam hak pribadi untuk menikmati hidup dan tidak boleh diganggu gugat. Aktivitas yang termuat dalam video tersebut bisa dari bergandengan tangan, berpelukan, berciuman hingga berhubungan badan yang dilakukan atas persetujuan. Oleh sebab itu jika terdapat pelanggaran terhadap hak seperti perolehan dan penyebarluasan tanpa persetujuan, pemilik data pribadi dapat mengajukan gugatan kerugian dan mengajukan permohonan untuk menghapus data tersebut.

The article explores the legal consequences of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. The scope of personal data protection was taken as an example. The purpose of the article is to study and analyze the legal aspects of the termination of the UK's membership in the European Union, its impact on the cross-border transfer of personal data between the parties, as well as the development of legal regulation in this area. The article shows that, despite the signing of the Withdrawal Agreement, as well as the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, there is a complication of legal regulation, as well as the emergence of potential contradictions and threats to the interests of interested parties. The sphere of personal data protection clearly demonstrates that despite the desire for the sovereignization of legal regulation on the part of the UK, its legal system remains dependent on the legal order of the European Union. The UK's national regulation on personal data will be under constant monitoring by the competent EU authorities, which indirectly confirms the failure to achieve the goals of the full return of the UK's delegated sovereign powers. It is concluded that the EU Court of Justice still retains its jurisdiction over the United Kingdom, in particular, in connection with possibility to challenge decisions on adequacy, as well as through the adoption of its own practice on issues related to personal data protection.

Legal regulation of the use of personal data is essential in ensuring the quality of scientific research. Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union No. 2016/679 of April 27, 2016 «On the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data», repealing Directive 95/46/EC, aims to unify the standards governing the protection of human rights to privacy, certain conditions beyond. This novel, introduced by the Regulation in the EU legal framework, complements and updates the acquis communautaire achieved within the framework of Directive 95/46/EC on personal data protection. The Regulation establishes both general rules applicable to any type of personal data processing and special rules applicable to the analysis of certain categories of personal data, such as information obtained during clinical trials. This paper provides an overview of new standards (in force since May 2018) that regulate aspects of personal data processing in the context of research activities (personal health data, genetic, biometric information, etc.)

The paper deals with the topic of collision between legal regulations on the protection of personal data and the legal regulations on archival work. The legal regulation applied by the Personal Data Protection Agency in Bosnia and Herzegovina often conflicts with the legislation that regulates archival work and lays down retention periods in the Records Schedule for given documentation. Due to this lack of uniformity of regulations, Archives has often been faced with requests for destroying the kind of records which have to be permanently retained. The paper also proposes possible solutions for overcoming this problem by both protecting the rights of individuals and remaining consistent to archival legislation.
