Currently, the current legislation is based on a normative document that regulates the procedure, rules and requirements for the provision of information. Few people know what it is, and even more so those who have nothing to do with jurisprudence. Some nuances and norms of this legal act are set out in this article.

Glossary of terms used in the law

Some terms and definitions that are used in the said normative act are more clearly defined by the legislator so that citizens do not have doubts or ambiguity. So, among these definitions there are the following:

From the point of view of the specified document, information means any information that can be expressed in the form of messages or other form. Moreover, they can be provided to third parties in any form.
Information technologies are all kinds of methods, methods, and processes provided for by law that are used to detect, store, use and apply information.
The owner of information is the person who produced it on his own or received it on the basis of any transaction provided for by law from other persons. The owner may also be a legal entity.
Providing information - this definition means any action that is aimed at transferring it from one person to another. In this case, the recipient can be either a specific person or an indefinite circle of recipients.
Access to information is a legally and physically secured opportunity for recipients to acquire information. The types and forms of this access are determined by the relevant regulatory documents that regulate certain specific legal relationships in people's lives.
Confidentiality is a requirement that is imposed on persons who have access to information, and consists of a prohibition on their disclosure without the permission of the owner of the information.

Just a few of the concepts are listed here. For more complete information about all the definitions used in you need to look directly into it.

Types of information

So what is information? The Law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection” reveals its essence as an object of legal relations. It can be the direct object of not only civil legal relations, but also public, government, and others. By general rule, the information received is free to disseminate. That is, the person who received it has the right to transfer it to other persons. However this rule valid only in cases where it is not confidential. Confidentiality, in turn, can be established both on the basis of any agreement concluded between the parties, and on the basis of legislation. For example, the law regulating operational investigative activities establishes the secrecy of information. Only persons specifically authorized to do so can gain access to it. Providing confidential information is possible only with the consent of its owner or on the basis of a judicial act.

Based on the above, it can be divided into the following categories:

distributed freely and without restrictions;
distribution of which is possible only in accordance with the agreement;
the distribution of which is possible only on the basis of laws;
the distribution of which is prohibited or limited on the territory of the Russian Federation.

Holders of information

Let's take a closer look at who is the owner of the information. regulating this issue, it is established that such persons can be individuals, organizations, as well as the Russian Federation itself. Subjects of the Russian Federation and municipalities can also be owners. If the person in question is the last three named entities, then on their behalf the rights and obligations are exercised by the relevant authorized officials. The powers of all holders include the following powers:

provide or partially provide access to information, establish the procedure for providing information and methods of this access;
use proprietary information at your own discretion;
provide information to other persons by concluding any agreement or in cases specified by law;
assert your rights to information if they are violated by third parties;
exercise other rights provided for or not prohibited by law.

In addition to rights, the owner is also assigned certain responsibilities. These include respect for the interests of third parties and their legal rights. The owner of the information must also protect the information at his disposal, and if it is confidential, then limit access to it.

Public information

This type includes all information that is in the public domain. Usually this is also information that does not have limited access. Providing information that is not limited by anyone is essentially free of charge. However, it may have an owner who may require that those using it indicate him as the owner.

Right to information

Citizens and legal entities may receive information by any not prohibited methods. They can search for it in all publicly available resources or write a statement requesting information. An example is the Internet, where an unlimited amount of free data is freely available. In addition, these persons have the right to demand that they receive the information they need from government bodies or other organizations. A request for information is sent by him to the owner of the information of interest, who, in turn, considers the request, and if the requested information is not protected by law or is not restricted for distribution, then he transfers the information to the applicant. It is understood that a person has the right to receive them if they affect his rights and obligations. a list has been established to which access cannot be prohibited or otherwise limited. This is the information:

about the state of the environment;
on the implementation by state bodies of their activities;
on laws and other regulations;
located in libraries and other places open to the public;
another, permitted for distribution.

To receive them, you need to issue a letter of information provision and submit it to the appropriate authority.

Access limitation

General provisions for access restrictions are established in Art. 9 of the normative act under consideration. It states that these forms of providing information are regulated by the laws of the Russian Federation. This may be due to various factors. One of them is considered to be: protecting the constitutional system of the country, the health and safety of people, their interests, as well as preserving the defense capability of Russia. This, of course, is not the only reason to restrict access. The legislator determined that the restriction can be subdivided depending on the nature of confidentiality of the information. So, it may have a banking, service or some other kind. Accordingly, depending on the type of information, it is regulated by a special law. For example, the procedure for protecting and disseminating bank secrecy is described in the legislation regulating banking activities. It describes the procedure for disclosing information, as well as listing the cases and persons to whom it can be transferred.

Spreading

In order to provide information, the regulatory document stipulates that its distribution occurs freely in Russia, but only in accordance with the laws. It is also determined that the information disseminated must be reliable. This requirement applies not only to the content of the information itself, but also to information about the owner or distributor. In other words, the person receiving the information should be free (if desired) to find out who distributed it. For example, a site posting any message on the Internet must indicate its name (name of organization or full name of a citizen), place of registration or location where the owner (distributor) can be found, other contact information, including telephones and addresses Email. Special requirements apply to such methods of distribution as transmission by sending electronic messages or postal letters. In such cases, the sender must provide the recipient with the opportunity to opt out of receiving this information. A good example is advertising SMS mailings, which senders can send to their customers only if they receive appropriate permission from them.

Fixing

The forms for providing information stipulate that in some cases the information transmitted by the parties to each other must be documented. This obligation is imposed on counterparties either by law or by an agreement signed between them. In government agencies, documentation is mandatory, and it is carried out in the manner determined by the government. For this purpose, special rules are issued. For implementation purposes, between citizens, as well as between organizations, including government ones, the procedure for using an electronic signature is established. In certain situations, parties are required to transmit information using such a signature.

Protection

The analyzed law “On Information, Information Technologies and Information Protection” establishes measures that must be taken by the state and other persons in order to protect it. So, among the list of these measures there are organizational, technical and, of course, legal measures. They are undertaken by stakeholders to:

safety of information from attacks on it by third parties, from their subsequent commission of any illegal actions, from destruction, copying or distribution of information;
maintaining secrecy;
ensuring access to information.

The state, while carrying out its functions, is obliged to take the necessary actions to protect. They are expressed in establishing minimum requirements to relations associated with obtaining information, as well as in determining liability for their unlawful disclosure or other illegal actions. Security requirements include, in particular:

Prevention of unauthorized access and subsequent transfer to third parties who do not have the right to do so.
If possible, establish facts of illegal access.
Preventing negative results that may arise in case of violation of the established procedure for obtaining information.
Constant control.

Responsibility

As stated above, one of the functions of the state is to establish measures aimed at protecting information. For these purposes, the legislative body enacts laws and other regulations that provide for liability for the unlawful use of information. Responsibility, of course, is graded depending on the degree of socially dangerous act. It may be provided for by different laws and codes. So, if the violation is very serious, then criminal liability may be applied to the culprit. Slightly less dangerous actions may entail liability established by administrative law. As a rule, punishment for such offenses is limited to fines. If the offense of the guilty person has no signs of either a criminal or an administrative act, then liability may be disciplinary (if the offender is an employee).

Thus, the law in question defines only the basic provisions governing the relations between the parties. More detailed information about how it is distributed, what deadlines for providing information and other important points are determined by special regulations issued for certain legal relations. Compliance with all legal norms by both the owners and recipients of information will collectively ensure its proper circulation and will not allow third parties to violate the rights and interests of other citizens and organizations.
