<b><i>Online Extra:</b></i> New Russian Data Residency Law Will Soon Take Effect
There is a new Russian data residency law that will likely impact many companies, which somehow have business connections with Russia.
The law is actually more far-reaching that some businesses may realize at first glance. It will touch many firms, especially those involved with the cloud, e-commerce, Internet, social media, as well as communications and information technology.
Lothar Determann, an attorney at Baker & McKenzie and lecturer in law at the University of California, Berkeley, explained to Legaltech News that companies affected by the new law include those:
- Which have a 'presence' in Russia, such as a subsidiary, branch or representative's office there;
- Who have customers in Russia, such as an Internet or social media company that has users in Russia;
- Which have customers, who have customers or a presence in Russia, such as cloud service providers. Their customers may ask about compliance solutions for the new law, Determann explained; and
- Those companies with suppliers in Russia, such as a development center.
'That means pretty much any company with an international business is affected'to some degree,' Determann said. 'What the effect for a particular company's bottom line is'depends on how significant the Russian ties are for the company.'
