FDPPI in association with Madras Management Association and other partner organizations will be conducting an offline seminar in Chennai on April 23, 2022.
The theme of the seminar is “DPA 2021-Compliance perspective”.
There is a campaign in the media that the JPC modified version of PDPB 2019 need to be re-drafted.
Firstly the set of objections were centered around
“Government has too much powers under Section 35 of the Act”.
The second was on the “Restrictions on Data Transfer” under Sections 33/34 of the Act.
Now the third set of objections cantering around “Difficulties to Start Ups” and “Compliance Cost” has been raised.
The net objective of all these objections are to lobby with the Government that the current weak set of laws continue and the Tech Companies like the Twitter, Meta and Google can continue their Data Exploits in India without accountability.
FDPPI however believes that Compliance to the data protection regulation is in the interest of the community and even if there is some disruptions in the operations of the Data user organizations, it is not the reason to defer the law indefinitely.
In order not to let the industry slip into complacency thinking that the Data protection law will not be introduced in India, FDPPI would like to present the “Compliance Perspective” so that responsible companies start working towards compliance without being under too much of stress.
On April 23rd, over a day long seminar in Chennai, FDPPI along with FDPPI will discuss the DPA 2021, from the perspective of companies who would like to work towards compliance.
Watch out for more details.
