Are you aware of how much information you share with dating apps? #PrivacyOfThePeople
2/n
These applications don’t have the best track record when it comes to data leaks.
And let's be real: this information can be really sensitive and personal. #PrivacyOfThePeople
3/n
How high do you value your privacy? Matrimonial websites think: not enough.
Imagine the risk of a leak, and the vulnerability it creates. #PrivacyOfThePeople
4/n
Have websites and apps faced consequences for serious data breaches? Um.. no.
We're looking at how much protection India's incoming data law will provide you. #PrivacyOfThePeople
5/n
The answer is: not enough.
The Personal Data Protection Bill also doesn't protect "non-personal data", which can still be used to identify you! #PrivacyOfThePeople
6/n
Bottom line: India's data protection law, while a start, needs to be developed further to truly provide you a safe and private online experience. #PrivacyOfThePeople
7/n
We’d also feel more comfortable on these dating apps if we knew that all of them were encrypted end-to-end and were secure against upcoming data or privacy breaches. #PrivacyOfThePeople
