Personal data of children: what does it concern, how to protect

Many are interested in what is the personal data of children, as well as adults. The thing is that in 2006 a special law was issued in Russia, which imposed a restriction on companies and institutions regarding the use of certain information about a person. Accordingly, the collection and processing of data on people began to cause problems. Especially in relation to minors. Parents need to know what personal data is, and how to protect them when violations occur. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to understand Federal Law No. 152 of July 27, 2006. What should I pay attention to first of all?

Definition

For example, it is necessary to understand what is the personal data of children. This moment is extremely important. Not everyone understands what information organizations can use, and what does not exist in any particular case.

Actually, it's not so difficult to understand all this. Personal data of a person is information that helps to establish an identity and make a general impression of a citizen. For example, weight, height, as well as information about health, name and date of birth. You can say this is personal information about a person.

Several components of a single whole

Now it's clear what personal data is. What does it concern? Sometimes it is not so easy to guess. But that there are no unnecessary questions, you can simply look in FZ No. 152 of July 27, 2006. It lists several categories of personal information.

At the moment, personal data is divided into:

• are common;
• Biometric;
• Special.

What applies to each type of information? Remember not so difficult. Much depends on the age of the citizen. Children have much less personal information than adults. This is quite normal.

To the general name, surname, patronymic, education of the person. Also here include information about the actual place of residence, residence permit. Employed citizens (for example, children after 14-16 years of age) also have data on the place of work and earnings.

Special information of a personal type is the data that will help to fully characterize a person. Basically what does not belong to the general type. It is about race and gender, political and religious views. Among other things, here include medical conclusions about the state of health.

Biometric data, as is easy to guess, is nothing more than biological materials serving to identify a citizen. Each person has DNA, eye iris, and also data on height and weight. This includes still photos and videos. They also help to establish the identity of a person.

Consent expression

The personal data of children and adults are protected by law in the Russian Federation. The withdrawal of Federal Law No. 152 "On Personal Data" has imposed bans on organizations and institutions on the use of information about people. But in the order established by law, you can remove these restrictions.

How exactly? Every citizen must give his consent to the processing and collection of personal data. Then you can use information about a person. But with certain limitations. About them a little later.

To begin with, we should pay attention to the fact that the personal data of minor children are processed and can be collected only with the consent of legal representatives. This means that parents or guardians must fill out an application form when applying to an institution. Without it, you can not use information about the child.

Establishment of prohibitions by law

Nevertheless, all of the above does not allow organizations at their discretion to dispose of some data on the minor. FZ No. 152 "On Personal Data" imposes certain restrictions. What is it about?

The thing is that protecting the personal data of children is the responsibility of the parents. But the law itself was concerned that personal information of all citizens of the country could not be used for other purposes.

Initially, the parents consent to the study and collection of certain personal information about the minor. This is necessary to achieve one goal or another. For example, to diagnose and prescribe treatment in a hospital. As soon as the result is achieved, processing and continuing collection of information about the child (or adult person) is prohibited. Violation of this rule to some extent imposes an administrative penalty on the organization.

In writing

It has already been said that for the expression of will regarding the issue under consideration it is necessary to fill out the consent form for the processing of the child's personal data . That is, the document is presented only in writing. Oral consent is not an argument for using information about minors to some extent.

It is also allowed to give consent in free form. In fact, it is not so difficult. This practice allows you to protect personal data (which is relevant, it is already clear).

Independent document

Accordingly, the paper in question is a way of protecting personal information. And if the rules are violated, parents or already adult citizens have the right to apply to the court. In practice, such cases occur from time to time.

In order to protect your child from the collection and processing of third-party information, it is recommended to independently write consent to work with information about the minor. But how to do it right?

It is enough to know the components of the paper. On a separate sheet you will write:

• Data on the applicant's parent (name);
• FIO of an underage child;
• Passport data of the legal representative;
• Information from the birth certificate of a minor;
• Information from the child's passport (if available, for children from 14 years);
• The purpose of processing and collecting information (for example, for issuing a medical report);
• All information about the minor who will be processed;
• Period of validity of the paper;
• The procedure for revocation of the permit (not necessarily, usually not written);
• Operations that can be performed with the information about the child.

Accordingly, parents should carefully consider all the points of the application, and then write them. At the very end, the date of drafting the agreement is put, as well as the signature of the legal representative with the transcript. There is nothing difficult in this.

Compulsion

What if I do not want to provide personal information? Children (Roskomnadzor indicates that legal representatives are fully responsible for protecting the personal information of minors) in schools and pre-school institutions quite often fill a variety of tests. They seem funny to them. In fact, this is the collection of personal information. And often such "entertainment" is conducted in a compulsory manner.

Parents should be aware that they have the right not to grant the right to collect and process data about the child. But at the same time, citizens have no right to refuse any services. For example, do not take in kindergarten. Accordingly, no one can force consent to the processing of personal information. It's against the law. Parents should remember that this document is a right, not an obligation.

Required Information

Nevertheless, some personal information about the child is still provided. To protect the personal data of children has been implemented to the maximum, it is recommended to independently agree on the previously proposed principle. The main advantage is that you can specify the most narrow range of information about a minor, which is 100% necessary to achieve a particular goal.

What is it about? It is worth considering the example on the basis of general education institutions. What does the school require? Personal data (children are not responsible for their protection, this question should be dealt with by legal representatives) about minors are going to a variety. Most often, the parents are simply given a blank form. As a rule, the school after signing the paper by parents gets access to all the information about the child - both about his health, and about his sexuality, and about FIO

In fact, for this institution such information is superfluous. Therefore, in order to protect personal information, legal representatives must write a document that indicates consent in the processing:

• Name;
• Surnames;
• Patronymic;
• Age;
• Place of residence (or residence permit);
• Sex.

For schooling this is enough. It should be remembered that no one can claim health certificates or any other information for admission to the Shelter.

Refusals

Another nuance is that the personal data of children, as already said, are collected and processed from time to time in various organizations. For example, to identify the situation in the family. Every parent has the right to prohibit such actions. It is desirable to immediately worry about writing a refusal to collect and process personal data of a minor.

As a rule, a document is prepared in free form. It will look something like this:

"I, F.I.O. (passport data), mother FIO (data from the child's passport, if any), the student (information about the OS and the class of training of the minor), refuse to collect and process my personal data I authorize the use only of: first name, last name, patronymic, age, date of birth, place of residence and residence permit, I forbid the transfer to third parties, otherwise I will go to court in accordance with the procedure established by law. "

For the Web

Special attention is paid to the protection of the personal data of children on the Internet. The thing is that the web often collects personal information. It can be used for different purposes. Therefore, it is necessary to somehow protect the information about children.

It is not so difficult to do this. It is enough to use the following tips:

1. Install mail filters and anti-virus applications on your computer.
2. Adjust on the PC "Parental Control".
3. Make occasional copies of information from your computer. It is advisable to copy everything to a removable hard drive.
4. Allow children to use only proven sites.
5. Periodically change the password from social networks and other accounts. As their own, and the child.
6. Conduct conversations with the child on the topic of correct communication on the web.

It should be explained to minors that new acquaintances should not send information about themselves. Including photos and videos. Accounts in social networks are recommended to be protected in the privacy settings.
