The Russian Constitution specifically articles 23 and 24, institutes individual citizen the right to privacy.  Russia, a member of the [[Convention for the Protection of Individuals with Regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data|Strasbourg Convention]], ratified processing of personal data against automatic processing and afterwards adopted a new convention. The new Russian Federal Law No.152-FZ R implemented on 27 July 2006, was updated to cover Personal Data and this law extends privacy to include personal and family secrets. Its main target is to protect individuals' personal data.

Privacy entered the forefront of Russian legislature in 2014 when the approach to privacy turned to the goal of protecting privacy of government operations and the people of Russia. The amendments originally modified the Personal Data Law which has since been renamed The Data Localisation Law. The new law requires business operators who collect any information on Russian citizens' must maintain the collected data locally. This means that data transmission, processing, and storage must be in a database in Russia. 1 March 2021, the new amendment came into effect. Consent from the data subject is required if the data operator wants to use the data publicly.<ref>{{Cite news|title=Russia: Amendments to the Federal Law On Personal Data Takes Effect|url=https://www.natlawreview.com/article/russia-amendments-to-federal-law-personal-data-takes-effect|access-date=9 April 2021|website=The National Law Review|language=en}}</ref>
