BSA Calls for Draft Rules to Address Critical Issues in DPDP
Communications Today
Venkatesh Krishnamoorthy, country manager for India at the Business Software Alliance (BSA), critiqued the draft rules for missing an opportunity to address critical issues in the DPDP Act. He cited overly broad data breach notification requirements, the absence of a transparent process for designating a significant data fiduciary, and an over-reliance on consent for personal data processing as key areas of concern.
Krishnamoorthy argued for a more transparent mechanism to identify significant data fiduciaries and called for a risk-based threshold for determining notifiable data breaches. He also urged the government to recognise legitimate uses of personal data more broadly, especially in the context of AI systems, to ensure that innovation is not stifled by overly rigid regulatory requirements.
