What is data anonymisation?
Anonymisation of data is a technique where personally identifiable information is removed or encrypted and the data cannot be associated with any one individual. The draft policy proposes the launch of a non-personal data based India datasets program and addresses the methods and rules to ensure that non-personal and anonymized data from both government and private entities are safely accessible by the research and innovation ecosystem. It proposed ways to ensure that non-personal and anonymised data sets from both government as well as private entities were safely accessible by the research and innovation ecosystem. Just days after the government released its draft, Google’s Chief Privacy Officer, Keith Enright, cautioned that frequent and large-scale sharing of citizen data -- even if it is anonymised-- can damage users’ privacy. "Because we have made auto delete the default setting for all new Google accounts, it means activity data in a month is being automatically deleted for more than 2 billion users every day," said Keith Enright, Chief Privacy Officer, Google.
