Abstract
The need to protect confidential information has intensified sharply due the pandemic that swept all countries in early 2020. The numerous cases of leakage of personal data and confidential information in the process of remote work and distance learning determines the attention that is currently being paid to the organization of processing and ensuring the security of personal data, especially in the context of the beginning of the implementation of the concept of «digital citizen profile», approved in March 2019 in the Russian Federation. The key point in the organization of work with personal data and their protection is the identification (determination) of the personal data subject. From the point of view of Russian laws, the identification of the personal data subject can be carried out on the basis of any form and content of information relating to a directly or indirectly identified or identifiable individual. The opposite of the identification of the personal data subject is the depersonalization of his personal data. As a result of this, without the use of additional information, it is impossible to determine the ownership of personal data to a specific personal data subject. Digitalization of all activities of life of the Russian state, society and the individual (including political, economic, social, and other aspects) leads to the collection of an increasing amount of personal data about the natural person. In the «digital economy», a transition to management at the level of «digital twins» (digital profiles) is being implemented, as opposed to management at the level of physical objects, processes and personalities in the «analog economy». This, in turn, gives rise to a variety of possible negative impacts on these «digital twins» the possibility of which depends on the specific conditions of use of «digital twins». It can be concluded that at present, the concept of the personal data subject begins to act as a digital supplement (extension) or as augmented reality of a personal data subject of a specific physical person and his (her) environment, for which the digital profile is synergistic. Therefore, the issue of the quality of these «digital twins» (adequacy, reliability, completeness, relevance) is at the forefront of ensuring the security of something.
