Data Privacy Law Upgrade in India Proposed
In New Dehli, a hot topic of trending discussion in the news relates directly to consumer protection of data and privacy as it relates to commercial use. Members of the Indian parliament want to update the standards of practice and theory of law as it relates to these matters, according to reports distributed to news outlets globally, including the Times of India and Gadgets Now.
Highlights of the distributed media release include a need to protect private consumer data being flagged by the Secretary General of the United Nations (UN) Conference on Trade and Development, Mukhisa Kituyi and issues raised by earlier consumer rights activists. Those activists, including members of NCDRC, had raised the issue of protecting consumer privacy and establishing those rights clearly in India.
“It’s beyond time for all consumers to have the right by law to control access to their credit reports with free credit freezes. In my written testimony, I explained how Equifax is true — trusted ID Premier product fails to fully protect consumers. I also highlight concerns with its forthcoming Lifetime Lock. Locks and freezes appear to function similarly and that they block access to your credit report.The bottom line is freezes are better because they are right by law and not conditional on terms set by the credit bureaus. Also, creditors run credit checks with any one or a combination of credit bureaus so it’s important that you block access to your credit reports at all three bureaus.”
