Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

WHO CONTROLS CITIZEN's DATA

 Dear Shri Amar Patnaikji,

 

 

 

I just read your following article in Times of India :

 

Who controls citizens’ data? Personal Data Protection Bill must empower an independent and robust Data Protection Authority

 

-      Where you write :

 

Ø  The Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 entrusts the DPA with the mammoth task of protecting the right to privacy of 1.3 billion Indians by regulating approximately 600 million entities, including the proliferating digital ecosystem of both the government of India and the states.

 

Ø  Any law or policy is as good as its enforcement. Efficacious and effective implementation and enforcement depends upon capacity and capability. With rapidly progressing technology in a global world, we must envisage a DPA which is able to meet contemporary challenges, so that it becomes a model worth emulating.

 

 

While you have raised many important / valid points re the lacuna of the proposed bill , I find that there is no mention of :

 

“ How to get the  “ Data Compilers “ to reimburse the USERS for making tons of money through Advts or outright sale of users’ PERSONAL DATA “

 

In fact , I have yet to come across anyone pleading on behalf of the uses re : “ monetization of Personal Data to benefit the data-owners “

 

In this context , you might want to look up my following email sent to the Cabinet Minsters / Members of Lok Sabha – Rajya Sabha :

 

 

First Step : Second Step : Third Step
