CONCLUSION :-
The necessity for strict legislation on data privacy and security have never been stronger. Indian corporations must collaborate with the world wide data privacy standards and acquire best practices such as specific consent requirements if opt-in or opt-out based on the information being seeked, access to data for correction, providing breach notification, purpose limitation and data minimization, etc.
Nowadays, there is no authority which is looking over/following up or bringing to book bandits of cyber-attacks and companies which do not have an ample data privacy and security framework. It does not yield any recourse to the purchaser or people whose data has been compromised as a result of the leak or breach, not even a basic right to be enlightened of their data being compromised. If the legislature does not cover ways for cyber security and data privacy in the form of validating the Personal Data Protection Bill, it is the instant for Industry organizations and the general public to demand accountability from corporations.
