Privacy Shield Set Aside by CJEU – A Guidance for India
by Rishi Batta Law FirmThe European Union (“EU”) is a major
source of revenue for the information technology and business
process outsourcing industry in India. However, there are
several challenges that India faces with respect to transfer of personal data
from EU to India.
Presently, the data protection regime in India does
not provide the same level of protection as the data protection regime in the
EU, in particular because the Personal Data Protection Bill, 2019 has not been
enacted yet. Further, Article 3 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”) states that provisions of GDPR will be applicable even in a case where
the processing of personal data takes place outside the EU.
As such, in case of transfer of personal data from EU,
it becomes relevant for Indian entities to comply with the provisions of the
GDPR as non-compliance or breach of its provisions may attract a fine of up to
20,000,000 EUR (Twenty Million Euros) or 4% (four percent) of the total
worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.
