Aadhaar Complies with Data Protection Laws, Says UIDAI Chief

Aadhaar, the unique ID system in India, is getting ready to follow a new law called the DPDP Act that protects people's personal information.

The head of UIDAI, the organization behind Aadhaar, says they are already doing a good job of protecting data and will fully comply with the new rules.

They say Aadhaar has even tighter rules for how data is used compared to other systems.

For example, your information can only be used to check who you are or for specific things the government says are okay.

They also delete information after a short time to prevent misuse.

They also allow private companies to use Aadhaar, but only if they follow strict rules.

The system is designed to avoid mistakes and keep things safe.

They also said that Aadhaar isn't needed for most things.
