Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!
POLICY OF THE MONTH
Ever wondered how those online quizzes you take, or the apps you download,
handle the personal info you share? Well, there's some fresh news on that front. The
Indian Parliament just passed the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and it's all
about keeping your digital data safe and sound. In an era where our digital footprints
expand with every click, the sanctity of personal data has never been more paramount.
This recent Act by the Indian Parliament serves as a beacon in this complex digital terrain.
Consider the vast digital ecosystem we inhabit. Every online interaction, from academic
research to social media engagement, contributes to a repository of personal data. This
Act seeks to ensure that such data isn't misused. It mandates that entities, termed 'Data
Fiduciaries', must transparently convey their intentions when accessing our digital traces.
Imagine your personal data as a diary. In the past, this diary was left open for anyone to
read.
YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT & THE NEW DATA PROTECTION ACT

Now, with this new Act, there's a lock on it. Companies, or what the Act calls
'Data Fiduciaries', now have to tell you why they want to peek inside your diary
and what they'll do with the secrets they find. Cool, right?
