The Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2023, is a proposed legislation by the Union Government aimed at safeguarding personal data of individuals in India in the digital realm. It addresses concerns related to data privacy and security and outlines regulations for the collection, processing, and transmission of personal data.
The bill introduces the concepts of "data principal" (whose data is being processed) and "data fiduciaries" (who collect and determine data purposes). It emphasizes obtaining legitimate consent before collecting personal data and grants specific rights to data principals, such as obtaining information about data processing. It also establishes the Data Protection Board of India responsible for enforcing compliance and handling data breaches.
The bill will enhance citizens' privacy protection and provide them with more control over their personal data. Individuals will have the right to nominate representatives to act on their behalf in case of death or disability. However, certain challenges, such as exemptions to state agencies and lack of clarity on penalties, need to be addressed.
