“MyGov” Platform Starts Notifying Citizens About Information Requests

A new feature has been launched on the “MyGov” digital government platform. From now on, citizens can receive notifications whenever private organizations request access to their information.

This feature enables citizens to quickly and efficiently track which organizations have accessed their data through the “MyGov” app or web platform. When a request is made, the system automatically sends a notification via the app. By clicking on the notification, users can access the “Notifications” module and view detailed information via the “View History” button. If a citizen does not wish to have their information requested by a particular company or organization, they can manage and block the request through the “Permissions Management” module.

The main goal of this new feature is to give citizens greater control over their personal data. It enables them to receive timely notifications whenever their information is requested, making it easier to monitor and manage the process.

Requests are grouped into seven categories based on their content: personal information, employment, family, education, transportation, social protection and benefits, and communications. This categorization allows citizens to quickly see which organization has requested their data and under which category, helping them track the flow of their personal information more efficiently.

It should be noted that the digital management of citizens’ consent for the use of personal data is another key feature of the “MyGov” platform. Through the “Permissions Management” section, citizens can track data requests made by private companies, manage their consents, set their validity period, and pause or reactivate them at any time.
