If you want to provide us with particularly important personal data on your own initiative, you must consent to our use of this data in accordance with applicable law, as described in this privacy policy. The term "particularly important personal data" covers all kinds of categories of personal data for which, in accordance with Russian and other data protection laws, a special processing regime is required, including in certain circumstances it is necessary to obtain direct consent. Particularly important personal data includes personal identification numbers, information about race and nationality, political views, religion, philosophical and other similar views, membership in trade unions and professional associations, physical and mental health, sexual life and criminal record (including information about suspected criminal activity), as well as biometric and genetic data.
