On 30 November 2024, the President of the Russian Federation signed draft laws No. 502113-8 (amendments to the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation – the RF CC) and No. 502104-8 (amendments to the Administrative Offences Code – the AOC), which were officially published on the same day. These documents, inter alia, toughen the liability of business and management for violation of personal data processing rules.
The amendments to the RF CC will come into force on 10 December 2024, while the amendments to the AOC will only come into force after the 180-day transition period is over (i.e., on 30 May 2025). Nevertheless, the amendments to the AOC are of particular interest to businesses as they significantly increase fines for personal data processing violations.
