Personal Data Protection

"The one, who owns the information, owns the world".
Sir Winston Churchill

We live in the world of high technologies, where information is available for everyone. Nowadays, well-developed technologies afford people to have an access for any type of data. In the Information Age personal data became a crucial topic in the area of the Human Rights protection. Personal data laws are developed in order to protect civil rights and freedoms of people, to secure the privacy of individuals' lives.

In Kazakhstan personal data protection law was introduced in 2013, and lately the State introduced some amendments to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan On Personal Data Protection dated 21 May 2013 No.94-V (hereinafter the "Personal data law"), which raised discussion within population and legal community.
