The Union Cabinet has given its approval to the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill (DPDP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Govt<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Disclosure of data breaches<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bill is expected to allow \u201cvoluntary undertaking\u201d \u2013 meaning that companies can voluntarily disclose data breaches to the Data Protection Board (DPB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u201cvoluntary disclosure mechanism is akin to the plea bargain method, an accepted legal procedure in many countries,\u201dan official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCompanies can come forward and (admit) to a breach of any (kind) and pay the necessary penalties.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Data Protection Board <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proposed DPB will consist mostly of independent industry experts and not government officials and will function as a “digital office.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be empowered to levy a penalty of up to Rs 250 crore on organizations found to be in breach which it can increase to a maximum of Rs 500 crore with requisite cabinet approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protecting children<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children have been defined as anyone under the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies can be asked to delete data that was collected before any digital personal data protection regime was in place, including that of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was necessary to ensure the safety <\/a>of children online since they are very vulnerable,\u201d officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal data can be processed only if an individual has consented to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However there are some exceptions for when the government might need data on grounds of national security and law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individuals will have the right <\/a>to seek details about their data collection, storage, and processing once the law is implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cross-border data flows<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A key change introduced in the final draft of the Bill pertains to cross-border data flows <\/a>to international jurisdictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a whitelisting approach, the government would shift to a blacklisting mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that global data flows would be allowed by default to all jurisdictions except for specific countries where such transfers would be restricted- an official blacklist of countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bill is likely to be introduced in the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament to be held from July 20 to August 11.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
