The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has advised stricter rules around data protection and taken a stance on users' information control: The institutions that collect and handle personal data do not have primary rights over that data, it reports.

The country's telecom regulator also says its current framework for securing data is not up to par, according to a new report from Reuters.

In addition, it has recommended a study to create standards to de-identify personal data collected by connected devices, maintaining that organizations don't have primary control over it. "All entities in the digital eco-system, which control or process the data, should be restrained from using metadata to identify the individual users," TRAI says in a statement.
