In our weekly series #PrivacyOfThePeople, the IFF team critically looks at India's incoming data law and how well (or not) it protects vulnerable populations, and the data you constantly log in.

This week, we're looking at your healthcare data👇🏾 1/n

So what exactly is healthcare data?

There are two types — personal, relating to your health conditions, & non-personal, where data is aggregated + anonymised. And there's an increasing interest in collecting this — for supposed effectiveness & better resource utilisation! 2/n
With the amount of health data India generates, protecting them is an uphill battle! In fact, between 2009 and 2020, 3,705 healthcare data breaches of 500 or more records have been reported.

So we have to ask: Is the incoming data law up to the task? 3/n

A new draft of the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 #PDPBill was released this week, and introduced in the Lok Sabha yesterday. It builds on the earlier draft prepared by the #SrikrishnaCommittee, but with a few significant changes ⬇️
The most concerning provision in the new #PDPBill is Section 35 on exceptions for the state for national security, law enforcement, sovereignty etc. It drops the legal test of ‘necessity and proportionality’ and legality, taking a huge step back on #SurveillanceReform.
#PDPBill asks some #SocialMedia platforms to give users option to voluntarily verify their identities, posing questions about #FreeSpeech and if there will be greater #Surveillance of accounts who don’t identify themselves. This provision is out of scope for a #DataProtectionLaw.
