Institute of Digital Intermediaries in Law

Abstract

The article concludes that an intersectoral institute of digital intermediary is being formed in modern legal science and legislation of the Russian Federation. The legal status of digital intermediaries is determined by the rights and obligations of the subjects of the main legal relationship, the conclusion, modification, and termination of which occurs through an information system, and the technological capabilities of this system. It is necessary to increase the security requirements for remote identification and authentication of users. The use of big data and artificial intelligence technologies makes it possible to implement automated decision-making processes with legal consequences for individuals. Digital intermediaries should actively inform the data subject about profiling and automated decision-making, including specific information about this type of processing in the privacy policy. The use of digital technologies carries additional risks associated with the need to ensure the information security of users, which requires: the organization of a permanent internal audit of an information system based on an effective risk monitoring system; the development of special security standards and the establishment of responsibility for their non-compliance.
