Privacy and Data Protection - A Global Perspective

The Speaker for today's session was Ms. Akshaya Suresh who gave a brief introduction into the topic and how Data and Privacy Law gets pushed under Constitutional Law. The Speaker walked us through the various judgements in India in which Right to Privacy was not recognized and how that notion has now changed . She then touched upon the recent Privacy Data Bill which has been sent to the Standing Committee. This Privacy Bill is largely influenced by the GDPR and the EU Data Privacy Law.She signed off by providing an idea about how to pursue a career in the field of Data and Privacy Law in India. The session was interesting and it was kept simple which helped the participants in getting a global picture on Data and Privacy Law.
