Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - The topic of protecting privacy is being updated with the growth of automation of numerous processes related to the existence of a person. This opinion was expressed by the director of the National Center for the Protection of Personal Data of the Republic of Moldova Raducan Eduard during the CIS international expert forum on information security.

According to him, the development of technologies, communication systems, information systems, a huge number of personal data accounting systems, a high level of development of social networks and other forms of communication in the virtual space without the accompanying provision of minimum security requirements lead to unauthorized and uncontrolled access to personal data, which imposes the need to develop normative acts providing for specific actions to ensure the protection of the fundamental rights and freedoms of individuals.

According to the Moldovan expert, one of the priorities is “protection of personal data” and explaining to the public the concept of “private life”, including the importance of the advantages and benefits of protecting fundamental rights and freedoms in the field of personal data processing.

It is of the utmost importance that the public understands the importance of protecting individuals when processing personal data. Increasing people’s perception and awareness of the importance of personal data protection will also affect the enhancement of corporate competitiveness, economic, social and cultural development of the country.
