IT associations "Russoft", APKIT and ARPP "Domestic Software" proposed to revise the list of personal data
Company representatives said that without consentemployees, they cannot collect data and transfer it to third parties, except in special cases provided for by laws. The mayor's decree does not apply to them, the letter says. Moreover, if the employee refuses to provide information about himself, the organization will be responsible for this.
Associations believe employers needexempt from the mandatory provision of vehicle numbers, mobile phones, Troika and Strelka cards, social cards and some other data of employees.
The letter from the IT associations says that the data,that the Moscow authorities collect about remote workers are personal, it is illegal to collect and transmit this data without the consent of its owner, except in cases specified by law. Sobyanin's decree does not apply to such cases, the authors of the letter noted.
The City Hall is using the situation with the coronavirus both in the spring and now to build a system of control and management of residents.
