Data protection regulations in India are designed to secure personal information and ensure privacy. Governed by the Information Technology Act, 2000, and IT Rules, 2011, these regulations mandate security practices for sensitive data. The proposed Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019, seeks to strengthen this framework by introducing stricter compliance requirements and focusing on individual consent and data rights. It also proposes the creation of a Data Protection Authority to enforce these regulations. These evolving laws aim to protect personal data and align with global standards, ensuring a secure digital environment.
