Belarus plans to toughen liability for violations of personal data legislation
Belarus plans to increase fines for violation of personal data legislation in 2024, said Director of the National Personal Data Protection Center of the Republic of Belarus Andrei Haev. Specific amounts of fines have not been specified yet.
Since the introduction of the legislative regulation in Belarus in the field of personal data protection, there have already been cases in which operators have been prosecuted. In 2023, in 18 cases materials for administrative liability were sent; in 2 cases the decision to suspend the processing of personal data of information resources (systems) was taken.
It should be noted that the maximum fine for failure to organise the processing of personal data for legal entities is currently 50 basic units (i.e. BYR 2,000).
