Using children’s personal data legally and securely

The Indian school education system is one of the most expansive ecosystems in the world. Adherence to the principles of data privacy and data minimisation is particularly pertinent given the sensitive nature of children’s personal data. The need for specific protocols Regarding exchange of personal data of children for an unspecified purpose, integration of third parties could also raise doubts on the role thereof. Although the privacy policy for APAAR dictates certain data security, aggregation, third party integration, retention requirements, sharing of personal data of children for an unmentioned purpose may require specific protocols, which are absent. Hopefully, this will also help further a conscientious spirit in the actors for sharing, using, and retaining personal data of children, lawfully and securely.
