Questions and answers
Personal data of Russian citizens must be stored inside Russia. Cross-border data transfers are only possible with the owner’s consent and if the data had originally been added to a database hosted in Russia. The law also imposes requirements on how data is processed and the technical protection of the information system, including the part located in Russia.
