From a report by Manish Singh in the TechCrunch web site:
“India has proposed groundbreaking rules, akin to Europe’s GDPR, that would require technology companies to garner consent from citizens before collecting and processing their personal data.
‘But at the same time, the new rules also state that companies would have to hand over ‘non-personal’ data of their users to the government, and New Delhi would also hold the power to collect any data of its citizens without consent to serve sovereignty and larger public interest.
“The new rules, proposed in nation’s first major data protection law dubbed ‘Personal Data Protection Bill 2019,’ a copy of which leaked on Tuesday, would permit New Delhi to ‘exempt any agency of government from application of Act in the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the state, friendly relations with foreign states, public order.’”
