New Delhi: Highly advocating the need to protect individual privacy, the shared parliamentary committee for personal data protection bills has requested the center to take “concrete steps” to ensure a copy of sensitive and important personal data mirror in the ownership of the Mandatorily foreign entity brought to India.
JPC led by PP Chaudhary BJP has said once the data protection authority is regulated, the center “must ensure the data localization clause under this law is followed in letters and spirits by all local and foreign entities, and India must move towards data localization gradually “.
The Committee has requested the center to consider ‘the right to forgotten’ by clarifying fiduciary responsibilities of data, but noting this can depend on the available and practical technologies of the application.
The panel has held it may not always be easy to distinguish between “non-personal” and “personal” data and the proposed authority must consider both in the ambition.
For this purpose, JPC has called a mechanism to ratify the integrity of hardware equipment.
This report also calls for an alternative to a fast fund transfer system, saying that there are several examples of violations by China’s loan applications in India with major implications for individual privacy that needs to be addressed.
“The committee has the view that an alternative for fast payment systems can be developed in India which will not only ensure privacy, but will also provide encouragement to the domestic economy.” Bat reports for the regulatory system on the line of the Indian Press Council (PCI) for the Social Media Platform (SM), said there must be the authority of legal media regulations to regulate the media content regardless of where their content is published – online, print or vice versa.
Also, importantly, calls on the SM platform to verify users after the user completes the verification procedure.
“The SM platform, which does not act as an intermediary, must be treated as a publisher and is responsible for the content they host.
The mechanism can be designed (where the platform) will be responsible for the content of an unverified account on their platform.
After the application for verification Sent with the required documents, the intermediary for the social media must verify the account mandator, “the report states.
JPC has searched the inclusion of hardware manufacturers, which collected data through digital devices, in law, noted that this was a gap.
“(Committee) wants that new sub-clauses as 49 (2) (o) can be included to allow DPA to frame the rules to regulate hardware manufacturers and related entities.” It has called for a mechanism for the formal certification process for all digital and iot devices (sensors, gadgets) to ensure their integrity by preparing laboratories throughout the country.
The Committee has confirmed the need to “design and organize the process to unite data in the public sector, the private sector, and academic institutions and research”, and formulate “strong data management policies, standards and best practices with the right data, data access, data security strong, privacy rights and ownership rights “.
“It has also been observed that national security is very important and India cannot compromise on the basis of business promotion.
Therefore, the committee feels that even though there are provisions under clauses 33 and 34 for transferring crossborder data, several concrete steps must be taken by the central government to ensure That a copy of the mirror of sensitive and important personal data that already has a foreign entity is offered in India in a time bound, “said the report.
The panel also said that although the Social Media Platform (SM) was designated as an intermediary under the IT Law, the law failed to manage the SM platform adequately, after failing to compensate for changing BC ecosystems.
The PDP Bill has the same general provisions regarding SM platforms and intermediaries, the Panel said, conveying “strong views” designated intermediaries may function as content publishers.
JPC has been on Monday adopting a draft report with seven out of 31 members moving the notes of differences of opinion on various clauses.
