SECTORAL PRIVACY CHALLENGES

The Indian Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) adds additional complexity to legal compliance challenges of many Indian sectoral laws. Many of PDPA’s requirements are complementary to existing legislation but special attention must be made to personal data protection.

Many companies often process large amounts of personal data, often of a sensitive nature.  Particular attention must be paid to ensure it is only used for the intended purpose, that it is only shared in a controlled way and that it is retained and disposed of appropriately and in a timely fashion.

The use of data for profiling is also strictly legislated under the PDPA for all sectors. Especially the following legal sector are supposed to pay attention (are allied) to the PDPA.
