The Government of India in its quest to enact a unified legislation pertaining to data privacy and protection tabled the #digitalpersonaldataprotection bill, 2023 in the Loksabha. The proposed Bill extends to digital personal data processing: (i) within the territory of India, collected in digital and non-digital form (which is then digitized); and (ii) outside the territory of India, where the processing relates to offering of goods or services to individuals within India. The #DPDP Bill identifies consent by the individual and certain legitimate uses as the two grounds for data processing while providing certain exemptions for data processing. Here are the key highlights of the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023. Goldie Dhama Sahil Gupta Neha Aggarwal Jain Dhruv Kaushal Srishti Sinha #dpdpbill #dataprotection #dataprocessing

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act marks a new era in data protection for India. This landmark act aims to safeguard digital personal data, mandating businesses to obtain user consent, implement robust security measures, and ensure accountability. It introduces key roles like Data Fiduciaries, who process digital personal data, and Consent Managers, who help individuals manage their consent efficiently. Significant aspects include strict guidelines on handling children's data, regulating cross-border data transfers, and empowering individuals with rights over their data.

The Indian government recently passed the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP 2023) to help safeguard individual user data in digital spaces. I attended a session chaired by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology of India, and Sharad Sharma, Founder of iSpirit, a non-profit technology think tank. This session organized by Tejasvi Surya under the Sansad Dhvani initiative shed light on the implications of the DPDP law. Individuals will now have more control over how their data is collected. Companies are mandated to take explicit consent from users before processing their data, and ensure strict security to safeguard it against breaches. Additionally, parental consent will be required before processing children's data. Under no circumstances can a company track or monitor children, or direct ads at them. And the nuisance of spam calls, emails and text messages will finally stop. The government will impose penalties of up to Rs 250 crore on digital service providers who cause leak of personal contact details from their database. In our increasingingly digital times, our privacy is supremely important, and I am glad we have laws in place now to protect us as individuals and consumers. #india #privacy #dpdp #technology #sansaddhvani

In a bid to navigate the complexities of digital data protection, industry giants are seeking an extended transition period of 18-24 months for compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023. With the aim of ensuring the protection of digital rights while maintaining business continuity, major players in social media, big tech, and fintech sectors are looking to secure more time, contrasting the government's 12-month compliance window. Key challenges include verifiable parental consent for data collection from children and adapting to the new consent manager framework, both of which industry insiders believe will require at least 18 months for seamless integration. Kumar Deep, Country Director at ITI Council, states, "We are advocating for workable timelines of 9-24 months, depending on the architecture our companies need for DPDP Act compliance." Industry bodies like the US-India Business Council, ITI Council, FICCI, and IAMAI are gathering insights from companies and startups in India to present formal feedback shortly. The DPDP Act introduces vital measures for data protection, posing challenges like age verification and consent management that require significant technical infrastructure development. As the government's plans unfold, organizations strive to ensure a smooth transition while prioritizing data security. #DPDPAct #ITICouncil #IAMAI #DataProtection #ComplianceMatters

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 🌐 in India has significant consequences for companies operating in the country. Here are some key impacts of the DPDPA on businesses: Compliance Requirements: Companies need to update their privacy policies, notify data principals about data breaches, and revise contracts with vendors and service providers to align with the new regulations Data Audits and Security: Businesses should prepare for data audits by DPBI-approved auditors and enhance data security measures to prevent unauthorized access or breaches. User Consent and Rights: Obtaining explicit consent from users before processing their personal data is crucial under the #dpdpact , emphasizing transparency and informed decision-making by users. Transition Period and Compliance Timelines: The #dpdpa includes a transition period allowing businesses to align their data processing procedures with the new law before its enforcement starting on January 1, 2024. Overall, the #dpdpa imposes stringent compliance requirements on companies, necessitating adjustments in data processing practices, technology investments for data security, user consent mechanisms, and adherence to privacy principles to ensure alignment with the new regulations and avoid penalties for non-compliance. #compliance #legal #dpdpa #dataprotection #dataprivacy #lawsikho
