EU, INDIA, 8 OTHER COUNTRIES CALL FOR INT’L COOPERATION ON DATA PROTECTION

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The EU, along with nine other countries has urged to enhance data protection and privacy norms.
  • Joint declaration was released because there is a lack of trust in how data is managed.
  • The key to fostering free data flow is to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the digital economy.

The EU, along with nine other countries, including India, has urged for international collaboration to enhance data protection and privacy norms.

Taking an overview:

  • The countries called for rapid technological developments in the area of digital and information technologies in a “Joint Declaration on Privacy and the Protection of Personal Data: Strengthening Trust in the Digital Environment,” as new challenges for the protection and privacy of personal data arise.
  • The key to fostering free data flow is to take advantage of the opportunities provided by the digital economy.
  • The legal frameworks of any country must also ensure that an individual’s right to privacy and the protection of personal data is considered as a fundamental freedom and is respected.

Which countries have made data protection a priority?

India, Comoros, Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Mauritius, Singapore, South Korea, and Sri Lanka are among the countries that have joined the European Union.

What brought this assertion to the fore?

The joint declaration was released because there is a lack of trust in how data is managed, which has had a negative impact on the various countries’ economies and society. As a result of this reluctance on the part of communities and individuals to adopt new technology, sharing personal data with business exchanges and overseas partners has become a major challenge. To meet this challenge, this declaration was published in order to encourage high data protection and privacy standards, which will benefit in the development of the aforementioned countries.
