Legal Regulation of Personal Data Protection in Virtual and Augmented Realities

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to form approaches to the legal regulation of personal data processing issues in the context of the spread of virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies. The author points to the increased interest and rapidly growing popularity of virtual and augmented reality (VR/ AR) technologies in society, which allow you to get realistic impressions that blur the lines between the physical and digital worlds. Due to the rapid integration of these technologies into everyday life, very difficult issues arise related to the protection of users' personal data. The need to increase the level of personal data protection in the context of the proliferation of virtual/augmented reality technologies in the near future will pose new challenges in the areas of law-making and law enforcement.
The relevance of the study lies in the fact that when using VR/AR technologies, the security of users' personal data may be exposed to serious risks. The author justified the need to expand the capabilities of users to manage personal data when using VR/AR devices, as well as the adoption by the state of proactive measures to protect the personal data of its citizens. The author analyzes and compares the types of personal data of persons using VR/AR technologies, as well as the degree of growth of privacy threats in the event of a possible information leak. The existing regulatory framework for ensuring the protection of personal data in the Russian Federation was also analyzed and the need for further legal initiatives in this area was identified.
The author proposed a set of measures aimed at ensuring the privacy of users of virtual and augmented reality technologies.
