The government has proposed draft data protection bill which applies only to personal data of individuals collected by entities.
The rights available to data principals against data fiduciaries are as follows:
- Right to information.
- Right of correct or erase the personal data available in the custody of data fiduciary.
- Right of grievance redressal
- Right to nominate a person who will act on behalf of data principal in case of his/her death.
The data principal is under duty to refrain from disclosing false or fraudulent information with the data fiduciary in order to escape heavy penalty.
