Data Protection Bill Will End Customer Data Misuse, Penalise Violators, MoS IT Says




According to Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar, the new data protection bill will end the exploitation of customer data and provide for sanctions against offenders. In response to Google's settlement of a US inquiry, the minister expressed his opinion. The investigation found that the Internet giant deceived customers and continued tracking their locations even after they opted out of the location tracking system. The Oregon Department of Justice said that Google has agreed to resolve the complaint and would pay about $392 million (approximately Rs. 3,178 crore).


"India's #DigitalDataProtection bill will put a stop to this - & ensure that any Platform/Intermediary that does this would suffer penal & financial consequences," Chandrasekhar tweeted. "This type of "misuse" of customer data breaches #Privacy and #DataProtection standards."


The administration withdrew the Personal Data Protection Bill from Lok Sabha in August and announced it would introduce a "series of novel legislations" that would be compatible with the overall legal framework.


According to government sources, a new data protection measure will be presented to Parliament during its winter session.

Over 95% of the Indian smartphone market is dominated by Google's Android. The Oregon Department of Justice elaborated on the settlement, stating that location data is a crucial component of Google's digital advertising business. 


The business creates complete user profiles and targets adverts using the behavioural and personal information it gathers. Location information is perhaps some of the most delicate and important personal data that Google gathers.


Even a small bit of location information can be utilised to infer personal information and reveal a person's identify and routines. The US attorneys general determined that Google has misled customers about its location monitoring methods since at least 2014, in violation of state consumer protection laws. According to the statement, "Google specifically misled its customers about the degree to which they may limit Google's location tracking by modifying their account and device settings."
