Just finished reading an insightful article about the growing impact of data privacy laws on both consumers and employees. With new regulations constantly emerging, it's not just about compliance anymore—it’s about building trust. Consumers are more aware than ever of their rights, and employees are becoming increasingly conscious of how their personal data is handled. From my experience, it's essential for organisations to move beyond mere checkbox compliance and foster a culture of privacy. This involves transparent communication, continuous education, and putting systems in place that genuinely protect personal data. One thing I’d stress is the importance of making data privacy a core part of your company’s values, not just a legal obligation. It’s about respecting the individuals behind the data and ensuring they feel safe and secure. Would love to hear your thoughts on how your organisations are navigating these challenges! #DataPrivacy #Compliance #Trust #CorporateCulture https://lnkd.in/eYP2D5d7

_____EX-EMPLOYEES AND THEIR PERSONAL DATA______ Disgruntled employees, annoying data principal requests and privacy cases. These are some things which companies will have to think about lest face a nightmare. Earlier a grief-stricken employee could not have done anything other than put a shaming post on LinkedIn, but here comes a new law, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. Companies to think what they do to an ex-employee’s personal data Companies are in a habit of retaining extensive personal data. A person’s name, address, phone number, medical details, last drawn salary to name a few. Earlier, no one gave a second thought to piles of personal data, lying in companies’ systems. Possibly because ‘Right to privacy’ was not recognized in India and generally privacy awareness has been low. But since the DPDPA has been passed by the Indian Parliament, there are compliances. Companies post DPDPA The new privacy law mandates that anyone taking personal data has to follow these general rules which can be explained through these examples- · Take consent from employees while processing their personal data. There are exemptions here, but those are applicable only for current employees. · An ex-employee can request for his personal data to be erased or modified. · Ex- employee can also request for any processing taking place with their personal data to be halted. · Ex-employee can also request for access to his personal data. This means company will have to explain in a consolidated form as to what personal data do they have of the ex-employee and any data that they may be sharing with third parties. How this can become a nightmare for companies Companies are not used to dealing with ex-employees. Generally ex-employees are ‘ex’ so when they leave, there is a halt in relationship between their and companies relationship. But if the company holds on to an ex-employees personal data in any way then they are subject to compliances. And non-adhrerence will have consequences. Consequences as large as Rs. 50 crores. Disgruntled or grief stricken employees may use this right and pose legal requests to the employer. If the employer has not acted on its privacy compliances then they may not be able to adhere to an ex-employees requests. When the law is fully operationalized, companies will have to acknowledge ex-employees requests in a timely manner and respond with actual results. Not doing it can trigger a law suit very easily. How companies should safeguard themselves? To safeguard itself, companies will have to act more seriously on their DPDPA compliances or else they may find themselves in middle of many privacy law suits. Companies will have to implement privacy inside their organization, build policies and SPO’s. This process is known as Data Protection Impact Assessment. Only if they are actually serious will they be able to manoeuvre through the precipitous slopes. #DPDPA #Personaldata #Privacy

What does the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 signify for employee data protection in the workplace? In my latest blog, I explore India’s evolving privacy landscape, obligations of employers and the challenges it may pose for them, as the new law gets enforced. ➡ Employers are data fiduciaries under the DPDP Act and are accountable for protecting their employees’ digital personal data. ➡ The law empowers employees with a set of rights over their personal data. They will also have a mechanism for redressing grievances against their employers. ➡ Employees’ personal data can be processed on two grounds – legitimate use cases or consent. Both have different implications and need to be evaluated carefully. ➡ Organisations need to pay close attention to all their internal and external data flows. Major risks could arise due to data sharing among group companies or outsourcing data to third parties. ➡ Failure to establish reasonable security safeguards to prevent personal data breaches could result in penalties up to INR 250 cr. These are early days for the privacy regime in India and people will be a key aspect of data governance in any organisation. There is much that can be done to prepare for the new law till the Rules under it get notified. I discuss how organisations can assess their data protection risks and build a privacy-oriented culture in the months leading up to enforcement of the law. The blog is up on the DeepStrat website.
