Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
Introduction. The growing public importance of biometric personal data in the life of society and each citizen individually highlights the need for comprehensive security of new social and economic realities. The article discusses organisational and legal measures taken by the state in order to protect biometric personal data of citizens from criminal threats. The reasons of increased risks of uncontrolled biometric personal data traffic are identified. The legal relationships regulation arising in the field of biometric personal data handling is analysed. In the context of criminological safety, the need for and importance of administrative and criminal regulation of the illicit gathering, storage, processing and dissemination of biometric personal data is explained. The author also provides examples of the biometric personal data use in providing organisational and legal regimes aimed at the state borders security ensuring, combating illegal migration, maintaining public order and public safety, protection of the personality, society and state from criminal encroachments. Methods. Such general scientific methods as analysis, systematisation, generalisation and abstraction, as well as comparative-legal and formal-legal private law methods served as the methodological basis of the study. Results. In the course of theoretical comprehension of organisational and legal issues related to the biometric personal data processing and its regulation, problems of interpretation, lack of normative and legal consolidation, inconsistency of legal regimes, as well as fragmentation of taken measures have been identified. The analysis of the introduced criminal law protection of biometric personal data has identified a number of problematic issues that require additional attention by the legislative authority. Solutions aimed at improving the rules established by the state for biometric personal data handling in order to prevent their illegal trafficking, as well as free from criminal encroachments development of biometric technologies for the benefit of the individual, society and the state in conditions of criminological security are proposed.
