Welcome to our final tweetstorm for #Week1 of #FFIonDataProtection! We've been talking abt #ConsumerDataProtection in India's #PDPBill.

In this #THREAD, we focus on #Rights of #DataPrincipals! #UserDataRights

See Chapter 5 of #MarkUpPDPBill: https://ffimarkup.wpcomstaging.com

The #PDPBill gives #DataPrincipals rights to access, update, erase and port their #PersonalData held with any entity.

BUT, s.21 places CERTAIN conditions for exercising these rights.

What are these conditions? Let's see.
(2/n)

- To exercise ANY right, users must make a WRITTEN request to a #DataFiduciary, with required identity docs. - Users can also be charged a FEE to exercise rights.

This could be a HUGE barrier in our country as many ppl aren't formally literate & are poor but use #tech! (3/n)

Users SHOULD:

- be able to make requests in all possible ways including SMS, toll-free calling or in-person;

- only pay NOMINAL fees, if AT ALL so everyone can access their #UserDataRights.

See s.21(2) of OUR #MarkUpPDPBill: https://bit.ly/33aC8St  (4/n)

ALSO WE NEED MORE #UserDataRights! Such as RIGHTS
1. to clear, plain & understandable notice,
2. to be asked for consent,
3. relating to automated decision-making,
4. against harm
5. to #datasecurity.

And that's a wrap from #Week1 of #FFIonDataProtection!
