Government Prepares Data Protection Board

The Indian government is setting up a new Data Protection Board to make sure companies handle our personal data safely.

They are working on how to choose the board members and have already made software for the board to work online.

The government is talking to big tech companies to make sure they are ready to follow the new rules.

The board will check if companies are following the rules, investigate any data breaches, and punish those who don't follow the rules.

The rules also give people the right to know how their data is being used and set high fines for companies that don't keep data safe.
