Aadhaar Act: The digital rights of Indians are at the mercy of an act that is incomplete

Firstpost  

By Amrita Vasudevan and Anita Gurumurthy The right to privacy has had to come to terms with the pervasive digitization of life. Thankfully, in March, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology had issued a notification stating that the state and central governments must take down Aadhaar data available online. As observed by the Centre for Internet and Society, when compared with internationally accepted data protection principles Rules, 2011), the Aadhaar Act and Rules severely miss the mark with regard to data protection. The Supreme Court has recently noted that “…biometric data collection by private agencies is not a great idea.” What is necessary therefore is not just a constitutionally recognized right to privacy against the state, but also for the idea of ‘right to privacy’ to include state protection against violation of citizen rights by private agencies. The Regulation mentions that the UIDAI ‘may’ set an information security policy that it and all other agencies mentioned by the Act or the Aadhaar related regulations shall adopt.
