Penalties for Data Transfer Transactions Detailed for Russians
Starting September 1, Russia will enforce new regulations aimed at improving road safety for children and ensuring compliance with internet data transfer rules.
The new child safety seat rules will apply to all vehicles, including taxis and ride-sharing services. Children under 12 years old must use child safety seats in the back seat of cars.
Individuals found transporting more children than the number of child safety seats in their vehicle will face fines of 5,000 rubles. Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs will be fined 10,000 rubles for the same violation.
Heavier penalties will be imposed on legal entities and individual entrepreneurs for repeated offenses. Fines will range from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles. Individual entrepreneurs may face fines of up to 100,000 rubles, while individual entrepreneurs may be fined between 50,000 to 100,000 rubles for repeated offenses.
These new child safety seat rules are part of a broader effort to reduce the number of child injuries and fatalities in car accidents.
In addition to the child safety seat rules, Russia will also penalise individuals, legal entities, and individual entrepreneurs for transferring user registration or authorization data online. The fines for this violation will range from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles for individuals, 10,000 rubles for legal entities, and between 50,000 to 100,000 rubles for individual entrepreneurs.
The agency responsible for monitoring and enforcing penalties for violations of the new Russian internet data transmission rules is Roskomnadzor.
Violations of Russian internet data transfer and bypassing traffic or virtual telephone exchange regulations will also be penalised. Fines for these violations will range from 5,000 rubles for individuals to up to 250,000 rubles for using an abusive terminal to bypass traffic. Legal entities will be fined between 100,000 to 200,000 rubles for the same violation.
These penalties are intended to ensure compliance with Russian legislation and promote a safer digital environment. The new rules are expected to have a significant impact on road safety and internet data security in Russia.
