What will be discussed?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Policy, our panel experts will discuss and answer questions which are at the core of this renewed policy and its impact on India and her citizens.

• In this webinar, we will deliberate the grey areas and significant upgrades of the proposed Bill.
• One departure from the previous Bill are the concessions on cross-border data flows and a softer stand on data localisation requirements. What fostered this development as the same government was not in favor of data transfer earlier?
• The new Bill’s acknowledgement of ‘withdraw consent’ recognises the right of a person to postmortem privacy. An important clause, that was missing from the 2019 Bill. What impact does this have on our people?
• The developments indicate India is strengthening its stance on data protection, inspired by international best-practices, but there are still complaints of lacunae. How can the Government leverage its ever-strengthening role in the global order against the backdrop of the nation’s G20 Presidency?
• What is the role of the Data Fiduciary as global tech giants continue to collect vast amounts of personal, private and identifiable data?
• Does the draft Bill accord substantial citizen recourse? How accountable are the key stakeholders in the process of collecting and passing private data through multiple downstream channels?
