INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (REASONABLE SECURITY PRACTICES AND PROCEDURES AND SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA OR INFORMATION) RULES, 2011

Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information Rules is the National law to require commercial websites and online services to post a privacy policy. The law's reach stretches well enough to require a person or company in the India (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting personally identifiable information from Indian consumers to post a conspicuous privacy policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals with whom it is being shared, and to comply with this policy.

Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information Rules enforce the following :

• The list of things which will be treated as "sensitive personal data "under the Act. It includes passwords, credit or debits card information, medical and biometric records etc
  
• The Body Corporate to provide a privacy policy for dealing with personal information and sensitive data and it also requires that the policy should be available on the website of the body corporate. The policy shall include all the necessary details for e.g. type of personal data collected, statements of practices, purpose of collection, provisions related to disclosure and security practices etc.
  
• Rule 5 states various provisions which govern the collection of information by the Body Corporate. The main clauses are as follows
  • Body Corporate shall not collect sensitive personal data without obtaining consent in writing or by fax or e-mail form the provider regarding the purpose for which the data is being collected.
  • Any personal information or sensitive data shall not be collected unless and until it is for a lawful purpose and the collection is necessary for the fulfillment of that particular purpose.
  • The provider shall be made aware of the facts as to the information collected, its purpose, its recipients and the agencies that are collecting and retaining the information
  • The information collected shall be used only for the purpose for which it is collected and shall not be retained for a period longer than which is required.
  • However, the Body Incorporate shall not be responsible for the authenticity and reliability of any personal data or sensitive information.
  • The provider shall be given an option to opt out of providing such information along with an option to withdraw his consent to the collection at any later stage as well.
  • The Body Corporate shall keep the data secured and it shall designate a grievance redressing body for any discrepancies arising in future.
    
• The Body Corporate shall seek the consent of the concerned provider before disclosing the sensitive data to a third party, unless such disclosure was agreed by the parties through any contract. However, such information can be shared without any prior consent with government agencies mandated under law or any other third party by an order under the law, who shall be under a duty not to disclose it further.
  
• A body corporate shall be considered to have complied with reasonable security practices if they have implemented and documented the standards of these security practices. Rule 8 (2) mentions the name of one such ISO security standard for data protection. However, any person or agency that are following any code of best practice other than that mentioned in rule 8(2) shall get their code duly approved by the Central Government. Body Corporate and agencies who have implemented either ISO standards or any other standard duly approved by the central government shall be considered to have implemented security measures provided that such codes have been audited on a yearly basis by independent auditors approved by the government
