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 Bill, 2023," was passed today by the Lok Sabha, which is an initiative by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeIT), aiming to reshape data protection in India. This bill aims to strike a balance between safeguarding personal data and facilitating its processing and storage by fiduciaries. With its envisioned data protection regime, the Bill seeks to enhance privacy protection, strengthen data security, build trust with customers, and boost confidence in digital goods and services. Regarding the processing of data of employees by the employers, the bill allows data to be processed without consent, including processing voluntarily submitted data, for the purposes of employment or those related to safeguarding the employer from loss or liability, processing data of debtors, and processing by the state to provide benefits and services. Stay tuned for an enlightening week dedicated to the topic of data privacy! #DataProtection #PDPBill2022 #Privacy #SecureData #Trending #PersonalData #BCPAInsights #BCPA

The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023 (DPDP Bill) was introduced in India in August 2023. The Bill aims to protect the digital personal data of individuals and to regulate its processing by businesses and government entities. The DPDP Bill includes several key provisions that aim to enhance digital personal data protection in India. These provisions include: 1.The requirement for consent from individuals for the processing of their personal data.  2.The right of individuals to access, correct, and erase their personal data.  3.The obligation of data fiduciaries to ensure the security of personal data.  4.The establishment of a Data Protection Board of India to adjudicate on non-compliance with the provisions of the Bill.
