Current Policy for Internet Privacy in India
Currently, India’s most comprehensive legal provisions that speak to privacy on the internet can be found in the Information Technology Act (ITA) 2000. The ITA contains a number of provisions that can, in some cases, safeguard online privacy, or in other cases, dilute online privacy. Provisions that clearly protect user privacy include: penalizing child pornography,[8]penalizing, hacking and fraud[9] and defining data protection standards for the body corporate.[10]

Provisions that serve to dilute user privacy speak to access by law enforcement to user’s personal information stored by body corporate[11] collection and monitoring of internet traffic data[12] and real-time monitoring, interception, and decryption of online communications.[13] Additionally, legislative gaps in the ITA serve to weaken the privacy of online users. For example, the ITA does not address questions and circumstances like the evidentiary status of social media content in India, merging and sharing of data across databases, whether individuals can transmit images of their own “private areas” across the internet, if users have the right to be notified of the presence of cookies and do-not-track options, the use of electronic personal identifiers across databases, and if individuals have the right to request service providers to take down and delete their personal content.

Online Data Protection
Since 2010, there has been an increasing recognition by both the government and the public that India needs privacy legislation, specifically one that addresses the collection, processing, and use of personal data. The push for adequate data protection standards in India has come both from industry and industrial bodies like DSCI – who regard strong data protection standards as an integral part of business, and from the public, who has voiced increasing concerns that governmental projects, such as the UID, involved with collecting, processing, and using personal data are presently not adequately regulated and are collecting and processing data in such a way that abuses individual privacy. As mentioned above, India’s most comprehensive data protection standards are found in the ITA and are known as the Information Technology “Reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information” Rules 2011.[14]

The Rules seek to provide rights to the individual with regards to their information and obligate body corporate to take steps towards protecting the privacy of consumer’s information. Among other things, the Rules define “sensitive personal information’ and require that any corporate body must publish an online privacy policy, provide individuals with the right to access and correct their information, obtain consent before disclosing sensitive personal information ‘ except in the case of law enforcement, provide individuals the ability to withdraw consent, establish a grievance officer, require companies to ensure equivalent levels of protection when transferring information, and put in place reasonable security practices. Though the Rules are the strongest form of data protection in India, they have not been recognized by the European Union as meeting the EU standards of “data secure”[15] and many gaps still exist. For example, the Rules apply only to:

Body corporate and not to the government
Electronically generated and transmitted information
The limited scope of sensitive personal information.
A body corporate when a contractual agreement is not already in place.
