Abstract

The article examines the main approaches to the personal data of legal entities as a potential special object of legal protection in cyberspace. The arguments for and against providing legal protection to legal entities' data of this type are presented. The article proposes its arguments for the impossibility of protecting the personal information of legal entities through the system of legal norms regulating the protection of personal data of citizens, based on the recognized theory of the essence of a legal entity, the goals of its identification, and taking into account the ultimate beneficiaries of legal entities - individuals.

Different scholars have expressed the view that due to the fundamental equality of individuals and entities in private law and their interdependent interests, it is impossible to dismiss the possibility of such developments in the future. The issue is crucial as disclosing information about legal entities often requires confidentiality, which necessitates the same form of legal protection as personal data about individuals. The study employs a methodological pluralism approach that uses various research methods, including general scientific, specific scientific, and others, such as sociological, historical, psychological, formal-logical, and comparative-legal methods.

The research focused on four ways of analyzing complex systems: system analysis and a comprehensive description of personal data as an independent phenomenon of legal reality and an object of legal protection; functional analysis, which enables the consideration of personal data in the legal regulation system; specific scientific research methods, primarily sociological and psychological, which determined the main parameters of the regulation and implementation of individual and legal entity rights; and an axiological approach that revealed the true significance of technology for protecting the right to personal data.
