Thanks for covering diverse topics in the post with your insights. Learning about Daughter’s right in the HUF and personal data protection are very important in this time.
The potpourri and Chemistry of Coffee were relaxing to read on the Sunday morning.
1. Often, one has no options. If, for example, an App has to mandatorily have two options, one a “Free” option where you get the App without a monetary contribution, by giving away your Data rights, and another, where you pay for using the App, and do not permit your data to be used, at least one can then evaluate.
Srini says: Use of cookies is one of the main things covered in data privacy laws and hence you need to explicitly accept it and can also manage what is stored and not when you visit a website.
I liked the concept of “opted in by default”. I confess I am in that category in many cases, though often not by choice, Often as Srini says it’s a case of valuing “convenience over privacy”. But I sometimes really feel that I have no choice as the site or app does not permit me to go forward without agreeing to it.
I can’t think why some apps ask for permission to use your camera or read your SMS when they have no visible (at least to me) connection at all. Unless we have a regulatory rule that prevents such instances the poor consumer (myself included) is literally between the devil and the deep sea. I read somewhere there was a plan to regulate this.
I was hoping that the Personal Data Protection Bill (PDPB) would address the issue. Your piece today and Srini’s answer to your questions indicate it may not. I am indeed a worried man.
Thank you Shahji for those valuable insights. Data privacy is indeed under a cloud. So much of data is out in the open .How does law hope to reverse that?
Thanks

Many thanks Shailenji. You enthused me to do better. Much appreciated.
