The Information Technology Act and its allied rules, regulations, orders etc impose several obligations on corporates. Failure to comply with these obligations may be penalized with fines, compensation and even imprisonment.

The primary law for data privacy in India is the Information Technology (Reasonable security practices and procedures and sensitive personal data or information) Rules, 2011 issued by the Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (ob) of subsection (2) of section 87 read with section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

The data privacy rules define sensitive personal data or information to include passwords, financial information, physical, physiological and mental health condition, sexual orientation, medical records and history and biometric information.

Non-compliance with any of the provisions of the data privacy rules is penalized with a compensation /penalty of upto Rs. 25,000 under section 45 of the Information Technology Act.

Additionally, in some cases there may be liability under section 43A of the Information Technology Act. Under the original Information Technology Act, 2000, compensation claims were restricted to Rs. 1 crore. Now claims upto Rs 5 crore are under the jurisdiction of Adjudicating Officers. Claims above Rs 5 crore are under the jurisdiction of the relevant courts. Additionally, in some cases there may be liability under section 72A of the Information Technology Act. This section provides for imprisonment upto 3 years and / or fine upto Rs 5 lakh.

Manual compliance with the stringent data privacy laws would not only be extremely time-consuming but also would require a lot of people and expense.

Some of the other relevant IT Act provisions are:

• Section 69 of the Information Technology Act, 2000 read with Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Interception, Monitoring and Decryption of Information) Rules, 2009

• Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, 2000 read with Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguards for Blocking for Access of Information by Public) Rules, 2009

• Section 69B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 read with Information Technology (Procedure and Safeguard for Monitoring and Collecting Traffic Data or Information) Rules, 2009
