What You Need To Know About The Personal Data Protection Bill

- As India right now doesn’t really have a data protection regime, it the #PersonalDataProtection (PDP) Bill 2019 that will lay the foundation for protection of an individual’s privacy in the digital age.
The Bill is also of great importance for corporates - both Indian firms as well as foreign ones that operate in India and process the data of Indians - as they will have to bear the compliance costs. Another big stakeholder is the government itself. In India, along with the private sector, the state itself has been a keen player in the data game. Through a multitude of policy measures and mechanisms, the most well known among them being Aadhaar, it has been collecting and storing huge quantities of data with very little accountability.
So, there are a lot of expectations riding on a robust data protection regime, which should, ideally, be on a par with the international gold standard in data protection, such as Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). So, how robust is the PDP Bill, and how will its provisions affect us? Most critically, is it likely to protect citizens’ privacy from encroachment by both state and private sector?

The European GDPR is quite comprehensive...can adapt from them. But, their executive institutions and machinery are far superior to ours. We really have an unethical society and an even more damaged executive machinery. Nobody is talking about how our devices, apps and search engines are picking up every moment of ours and converting it into cash. What little they miss, we publish them through our SM channels. 😟 Truth be told, our entire eco system (in India) is completely ruined by local and international players, telecom service providers, financial institutions, apps on your phone - all these ppl are piping your personal data for other apps and search engines to pick your wallet or your brain, or most often, both, without your consent. We call this going digital. And all we are debating is that surveillance by govt is worrisome? Can we pls get more real about our worrying patterns and our purported reporting of "facts"?
no one cares about individuals privacy
business is always business.... is it for govt. or for any org.
Consequences of violation of privacy of an individual...?
Fines upto 4% of global turnover of the company who violates the law. Similar to the GDPR.
@@iamKarthikeyan thanks for info.
gdpr 7%
GDPR it is Euro 20 million or 4% of global annual turnover (whichever is higher).
@@iamKarthikeyan thanks.
Not an issue if State uses the data for someone involved in anti-national activities. There should be exceptions to curb anti-nationals beforehand by breaching their personal data. Manish Tiwari is no expert to speak about data-related national security issues.
