Appointed in August by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the committee is tasked with studying the subject of data protection and recommending principles and a draft bill that would “ensure growth of the digital economy while keeping personal data of citizens secure and protected”.

Last week, SaveOurPrivacy.in – a community-driven project aimed at ensuring India’s legal framework puts the interests of citizens and constitutional values first – went public. It unveiled seven principles and a corresponding model bill, a proposed Indian Privacy Code.
