PROBLEMS OF PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION AND A DIGITAL PROFILE OF A PERSON ON THE INTERNET IN THE CONTEXT OF A PANDEMIC
The article is devoted to the study of the problems of personal data protection and digital profile of a person in the context of a pandemic. In the context of the development of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic in Russia and around the world, a very serious problem is the need to ensure and protect personal data, primarily about the health of citizens, as well as the data that States receive as a result of monitoring citizens and observing the regime of self-isolation, social distancing and other anti-epidemic measures that the state introduces in the fight against the pandemic. A particular danger stems from the fact that the majority of this data is posted on the Internet, in connection with which there are significant risks that this information could be illegally obtained through hacking and illegally distributed. Social scoring is often based on the use of big data and artificial intelligence technologies. In this case, artificial intelligence processes a huge amount of customer data, analyzes their social characteristics, and ranks users based on this big data. It is concluded that companies planning such use of personal data should notify Roskomnadzor as a special purpose of processing, highlight this purpose in the process of processing personal data and obtain special consent of personal data subjects for such consent.
