Global Summit: Data Protection, Privacy & Security in the world of Digital Economy

With rapid technological growth, there has been a surge of new risks and threats, particularly around managing data and privacy in the New Corporate India. The potential for harms to individual and corporate data is increasingly real and on the rise, with far reaching ramifications. A developing market, like India is driving the digital data revolution through rapid advancement & increase in the number of digital payments at the same time appropriation of new technologies like Aadhaar, UPI, Mobile wallets, etc., customer’s financial data is at risk.

Currently, in India, there is no separate authority to ensure compliance with data protection obligations required to be followed by data controllers and processors. The current regulatory regime is limited in its scope and therefore, the present business environment in India demands a deeper dive into reassessing the risk and security issues owing to the paradigm shift towards digitizing businesses. The Justice Srikrishna Committee’s white paper, in this context, is vital and welcome. As the country is becoming data rich, coupled with the recognition of the Right to Privacy as a fundamental right under the Indian Constitution, there is a need for a data protection law to be enacted to protect individuals. The implementation and efficacy of such a law also begs a discussion on the relevance of a robust, independent and technically sound supervisory Data Protection authority (DPA). Given that the issues pertaining to data protection are highly specialized and require cross-sectoral expertise in data analytics, data science, law and associated issues, the creation of a legal framework and relevant enforcement / adjudicatory/ compliance institution ought to take a holistic approach.

In view of the above to discuss and deliberate upon the various issues and structuring an Indian Data Protection Framework, ASSOCHAM is organizing Global Summit on “Data Protection, Privacy & Security in the world of Digital Economy – Reforms, Challenges & Opportunities-” on Friday, 11th May, 2018 in New Delhi, India.

The summit aims at inviting the views & suggestions from a multi-stakeholder community on the regulatory and judicial processes, and submit the same for consideration by the government in building an Indian data protection law and process of reforms in the interest of development of a strong and contextually relevant data protection framework.
