At the same time, focusing on the current state of application of blockchain technology in the Republic of Kazakhstan, the parties have been identified that should be taken into account in its legal regulation and relevant legislative proposals have been considered. The relevance of the research topic lies in the fact that the protection of human and civil rights and freedoms in the collection, processing, storage and protection of personal data is a problem that can be solved not only within one state, it is a global problem.The Republic of Kazakhstan has recently adopted amendments to legislation on information security issues aimed at additional protection of personal data.
