Deadline Extension
In a surprise move, Russian authorities have extended the compliance deadline for the stringent new data localization law. Companies now have until June 30, 2025, to ensure all personal data of Russian citizens is stored on servers within the country.
Key Changes
The updated law expands the definition of "personal data" and imposes stricter penalties for non-compliance, including fines of up to 2% of a company's annual revenue in Russia.
