In part 6 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we look at the restrictions imposed by the PDPB on the transfer of personal data outside India. We recommend that the Bill explicitly define critical personal data and not impose undue restrictions that affect the open nature of the internet.
In Part 5 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we analyse the various issues with the inclusion of social media intermediaries under the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, and the provision for voluntary verification of user accounts. We recommend that the relevant clauses be removed.
In part 4 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we explore the issues with the user rights under the Bill. Certain rights are not absolute and contain significant exemptions. The Bill also fails to include certain rights. To address these concerns, we recommend changes to strengthen user rights.
In part 3 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we look into various issues regarding the consent provisions for the processing of the personal data under the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019.
In post 2 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we examine provisions on government access to non-personal data and setting up of privacy sandboxes, and discuss potential changes that could be made to include a more rights based perspective on non-personal data.
