Digital
Personal Data Protection (DPDP) rules may open new business doors for
regulatory-tech firms - The Economic Times
Extract from the article:
The article
discusses the potential impact of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP)
rules on regulatory-tech firms. The DPDP rules, recently tabled in the Lok
Sabha, aim to regulate how personal data is collected, processed, and
protected.
They also outline
severe penalties for breaches, including exemptions for the government and the
establishment of a regulator, the Data Protection Board.
The rules mandate
digital platforms to obtain explicit, free, specific, and informed consent from
users to process their data. Additionally, users, termed as data principals,
have the right to access information about their data and revoke consent at any
time.
My Take:
Dashboard
for Data Owners
The article on the DPDP rules
resonates with my previous blog on creating a "Dashboard for Data
Owners." I had highlighted the
importance of users having access to information about their personal data and
the significance of informed consent.
The current DPDP rules align with the need for users to have control over their data and are a step
towards empowering individuals in the digital landscape.
The
establishment of the Data Protection Board reflects the foresight I had in
advocating for a regulatory body to oversee data protection measures.

Stopping
Data Leakage
In my blog
addressing
the issue of data leakage and the challenges users face in tracking the misuse
of their personal information, I predicted the
complexities associated with identifying data breaches across multiple
entities.
The DPDP rules'
emphasis on severe penalties for data breaches underscores the critical need to
address data leakage effectively.
By highlighting the
practical difficulties faced by data owners in recognizing data leaks, I had anticipated the gaps that the DPDP rules aim to bridge.
These rules can potentially enhance accountability and transparency in data
handling practices.

Call to Action:
To the regulatory
authorities overseeing the implementation of DPDP rules, I urge a proactive
approach in educating both businesses and individuals about the implications of
these regulations.
It is crucial to
ensure that users are aware of their rights and that firms are equipped to
comply with the stringent data protection requirements. Let's work together to
foster a culture of data responsibility and accountability in the digital
ecosystem.
