Restrictions Placed on Storing Biometric Data Abroad.

In Uzbekistan, biometric data used for identifying customers by banks, payment system operators, payment service providers, and credit bureaus must be stored only within the republic. This requirement was established by a new decision from the Central Bank. The decision was implemented to ensure the security and confidentiality of biometric data. The document prohibits the storage of the specified data abroad, which must comply with the regulations of local banks and other financial institutions. The new restrictions aim to reduce risks associated with services and protect the rights of users.
