The Ministry of Transport of Russia has prepared a draft order, according to which carriers will have to transmit additional customer data to the industry GIS from September 1, including email, phone number, IP address, account password, and payment information.
The list of passenger information to be transmitted to the Unified State Information System for Ensuring transport security (EGIS OTB) was approved back in 2009. The operator of the consolidated database is FSUE Zashchitainfotrans, and Rostransnadzor, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the FSB have access to it, in particular.
According to the current regulations, carriers are required to send passport data of passengers, dates and routes of trips to GIS. The new industry order will also oblige them to provide the following information:
* information that the passenger provides when booking and purchasing a ticket (Passenger Name Records, PNR), including email and phone number;
* login and password of the site or app user;
* Customer's IP address and port number;
* payment card number (last four digits), bank name, ticket price, class of service.
All this data must be transmitted to the GIS within 15 minutes after the operation is completed — a difficult task, given that carriers use different booking systems (for example, Leonardo and TAIS currently use air transport). The period of data storage in the Unified State Information System OTB is seven years.
The new procedure for centralized collection of personal data should start working from September 1 and will be effective on air, water, rail, as well as on motor transport (international and intercity flights, except Moscow / Moscow region and St. Petersburg / Leningrad region).
By the way, the FSB already has access to taxi passenger data, and the relevant law came into force on September 1 last year.
