"A data fiduciary must ensure that data is deleted when the purpose is over and when data is maintained on its database and that it is maintained accurately without corruption and not allowed to be breached by external agencies," Srikrishna says of the proposed requirements.

  • The impact of the proposed data breach notification requirements;
  • Why data localization is crucial for India;
  • The process for the data protection bill to be enacted into law.

Srikrishna is a retired judge of the Supreme Court of India.
