he article examines the concept of an information owner in Russian and foreign law. Authors criticise the approach established in Russian legislation to determining the owner of information which mixes legal and factual criteria. The information owner is proposed to be understood as a person who has actual access to information and the possibility of restricting access to it. Along with the information owner authors identify interested parties (persons of interest) as persons who have legitimate interests in gaining access to, using, and/or restricting access to information. It is the person of interest who is considered as the key subject of legal relations in the field of data turnover. On the basis of model „information owner  — person of interest“ recommendations are formulated for the development of Russian legislation and doctrine. Objective of these recommendations is to clarify the legal status of the information owner and consolidate the role of the interested party. The proposed ideas are particularly relevant in the context of the digital economy and the spread of new data processing technologies. Today the boundaries between existing legal statuses of subjects of information relations are blurring and the need for effective protection of the rights and legitimate interests of actors is increasing.
