Lok Sabha Boosts Data Protection: Bill Now Heads to Rajya Sabha
On Monday, the Lok Sabha approved the Digital Data Personal Protection Bill, 2023, introduced by Ashwini Vaishnav, the Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology.
This bill is designed to fortify individual data rights and oversee lawful data processing within India. It targets data obtained both online from data principals and offline data slated for digitization. A significant aspect of this legislation is its classification of personal data breaches as unauthorized or accidental events that jeopardize the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data.
