These issues among others were raised at the third consultation on the draft Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules by the ministry for electronics and information technology (MeitY) in Bengaluru on Saturday. It saw participation from major IT firms like Infosys, LTIMindtree, Tata Consultancy Services, and Persistent Systems among other stakeholders.
The draft DPDP Rules were released on January 3 and the last date for stakeholders to submit their suggestions is February 18. The first consultation was held in Delhi followed by a second in Mumbai.
The meeting was dominated by discussions over personal data breach notifications, verifiable parental consent, etc.
IT companies also said that the threshold of data breaches must be defined otherwise providing information on every single data breach to the Data Protection Board under the DPDP will make for frivolous notifications.
