privacy of mobile users amid ambiguity around the nature of consumer data that can be sought by the Centre, senior telecom executives and legal experts said. They added that the new rules could also throw up implementation challenges as the mandated six-hour timeline to report cybersecurity incidents to the government is a fraction of the time allowed under comparable laws in the US and the European Union (EU). Leading corporate lawyers, who work closely with India’s top telcos, have flagged concerns around the privacy of consumers of mobile services, saying the notified cybersecurity rules—which empower the government to demand traffic data from telcos—have neither defined ‘traffic data’ nor specified any limitation on the duration for which such data can be stored. This ambiguity in the new rules, they warned, potentially allows private consumer data to be retained indefinitely without any legal or procedural constraints.
