Who leaks personal data of depositors from failed banks During the Central Bank’s purge of the Russian banking sector a large number of credit organizations lost their licenses. Under the law, the money deposited there by individuals are compensated through the Deposit Insurance Agency in full, but no more than 1,4 million rubles. Since last year the depositors who recovered their money through this mechanism have started complaining about constant calls to private cell phone numbers with offers of beneficial investments.

Partner of YUST Law Firm Alexander Bolomatov discussed with Speaker.com portal how third persons get the depositors’ personal data and information about their money.

Besides, the liability of involves companies such as ours is expressed in enormous fines for any violation”.
