Ukrainians will be able to see who is viewing their personal data in state registries and for what purpose. The government has adopted a resolution launching a subsystem for monitoring access to data in the Trembita system. This decision makes state processes more transparent and increases citizens’ trust in digital services.
Previously, people were unable to track how authorities used their data. Now, every instance of information exchange between state structures will be automatically recorded. Ukrainians will receive notifications in the Diya app with all the details — who accessed their data, when, and for what purpose.

The mechanism will be simple. If a government agency requests a citizen’s data while providing a service or exercising its powers, the Trembita system will register this request and send a notification to the user in Diya. This will allow everyone to control access to their own information.
There are exceptions. Monitoring will not apply to cases related to criminal investigations, counterintelligence activities, counterterrorism, or pre-trial investigative actions.
According to representatives of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the introduction of the monitoring subsystem is a step towards European standards of personal data protection. Ukraine is moving closer to the practices in force in EU countries, where citizens have full control over how the state uses their information.
