Google bats for ‘narrowly tailored’ data localisation

In News 
  • Google has suggested that -Local storage requirements should be “as narrowly tailored as possible” to minimise its “downsides” and optimise for some very specific legitimate requirements.
Details 
  • Under India’s data protection bill, big tech companies are mandated to store a copy of certain sensitive personal data within India and the export of undefined “critical” personal data from the country is prohibited.
  • Data localisation is the practice of storing data on any device that is physically present within the borders of the country where the data is generated.
  • As of now, most of these data are stored, in a cloud, outside India.
  • Draft National E-Commerce Policy Framework recommended data localisation and suggested a two-year sunset period for the industry to adjust before localization rules become mandatory.
  • Sri Krishna Committee Report said at least one copy of personal data will need to be stored on servers located within India.
