India's incoming data laws need our serious attention NOW.

The Joint Parliamentary Committee is all set to table their comments within the next few days, & you deserve to know: What are its glaring issues? How can we make it better? 🧵 1/n #MonsoonSession

Is India's incoming data law secure? Is it enough? Does it really protect you?

At IFF, we dived into them through #StartFromScratch #DataProtectionTop10 #PrivacyOfThePeople, where we analysed the Bill and looked at how they would affect you — as someone under its purview. 2/n
Now, the recommendations of the JPC will probably be considered, and the Bill itself may be passed. We're keeping our eyes peeled! But the story isn't over just yet.

Due to the cabinet reshuffle, multiple positions lie vacant in the JPC, including that of the chairperson! 3/n

Part 6 of our series on the Personal Data Protection Bill focuses on data localisation. What happens to the Internet's open nature? How does the Government decide which data is restricted? How is your privacy affected? A thread. 1/n
internetfreedom.in/dataprotection…
There are two kinds of personal data with location restrictions:
a. sensitive
b. critical
As per Clause 33, when sensitive personal data is transferred outside India with explicit consent, a copy of such data shall continue to be stored in India. This is data mirroring.
2/n
However, critical personal data is strictly localised, and may be stored and processed only in India. It may be transferred only for prompt actions, or if the Central Govt. decides at its discretion that it doesn't affect State security and strategic interests (Clause 34). 3/n

We’re discussing consent in part 3 of our series, analysing the issues in the Data Bill. From letting your employers spy on you to denying you essential services, a thread on how the safety net of consent is torn in the Bill. (1/n)
internetfreedom.in/dataprotection…
Consent is said to be valid under the Bill, if it's given freely, informed, specific, clearly expressed & is capable of being withdrawn. There are exceptions to the State, employers, etc. which debilitate user control over personal data, detrimentally affecting our rights. (2/n)
Exceptions under clause 12 essentially legitimise the collection and processing of personal data by the State for projects like Aadhar, as it can process personal data without user consent for certain purposes, like the provision of services, benefits, or certifications. (3/n)
