PURVIEW
Explains the policy rationale underlying the Government’s 2022 data-protection proposal and the principles intended to shape India’s privacy framework. It is useful for understanding concepts such as lawful and fair processing, purpose limitation, data minimisation, accuracy, storage limitation, accountability and user control in their legislative context. For AI, these principles are important because machine-learning systems can encourage broad data collection, secondary use, indefinite retention and opaque reuse of datasets; the explanatory material helps connect those risks with the policy logic behind data-protection regulation.
