MOSCOW, June 28 (RAPSI) — Video streaming service Twitch Interactive was fined 2 million rubles (about $37,7k at the time of writing) on Tuesday for refusal to locate personal data of Russian users in the Russian Federation, the Moscow Tagansky District Court’s press service told RAPSI.
The company providing video live streaming service was found guilty of violation of Russian personal data legislation, the court held.
Earlier, Russia’s communications watchdog Roskomnadzor reminded of the fact that the operator must ensure recording, systematization, keeping, updating, changing and recovery of data of Russian users with the use of databases locating within the country. These rules provide the sufficient level of data security, the watchdog states.
