Analysis of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022

The Indian government is in the process of finalizing the Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, which aims to establish India’s first data privacy law. This bill has been put forth for public consultation, inviting input from civil society groups and digital rights experts before its introduction in the parliament.

This proposed legislation, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), comes after the withdrawal of a previous draft in 2019. Both versions of the bill have faced scrutiny from opposition lawmakers, technology companies, and advocacy groups. One of the central concerns is the bill’s lack of adequate protections, particularly for children’s data privacy.

Human Rights Watch, along with other observers, has pointed out that the bill could potentially extend the government’s surveillance capabilities. The bill includes broad exceptions for the government to exempt itself from data protection norms citing various reasons such as national security and public order, without specific definitions for these terms. This vagueness raises concerns about the potential for misuse in curtailing freedom of expression and due process rights.

The bill’s current structure does not align with the standards set by the 2017 Supreme Court ruling in Puttaswamy v. Union of India regarding privacy rights, and it appears inconsistent with international human rights law which stipulates that any restrictions on privacy should be necessary and proportional.

There are also concerns regarding the proposed Data Protection Board. As per the bill, the government would have significant control over this body, including appointments and removals, which raises questions about its independence and potential for facilitating unchecked surveillance.

Recent events, including allegations of the government’s use of Pegasus spyware and enforcement of the 2021 Information Technology Rules, have intensified these concerns. These developments are viewed in the context of increasing governmental control over online content and perceived threats to privacy and freedom of expression online.

The bill’s inadequacy in protecting children’s data online is highlighted, suggesting a potential increase in risks posed by digital technology.

The proposed Digital Personal Data Protection Bill, 2022, is under scrutiny for its potential to enable state surveillance and the lack of adequate safeguards for privacy, especially for children. The call is for the bill to incorporate independent oversight mechanisms to ensure any surveillance activities are necessary, proportionate, and in alignment with both national and international human rights standards.
