Important changes in personal data protection legislation

New rules and regulations that have recently come into force affect all companies processing personal data of their customers in Uzbekistan.

According to the new requirements, companies must provide a higher level of protection for the personal data of their customers, as well as take additional measures to prevent information leaks. This means that companies will have to review their policies and procedures for handling personal data to comply with the new standards.

One of the key changes is the expansion of the definition of personal data, which means companies must now be more careful about any information they collect about their customers. In addition, new regulations require companies to obtain explicit consent from their customers to collect and process their personal data.

Moreover, companies are now required to notify their customers of any data security breaches as soon as possible. This includes not only information about the violation itself, but also about possible risks and measures taken to resolve the problem.
