What are the concerns related to localisation norms and government exemptions in the draft data protection rules

The draft data protection rules have raised concerns about localisation norms and government exemptions.
  • Localisation norms may restrict cross-border data flow, hindering international business operations and innovation.
  • Strict localisation requirements can increase costs for businesses by mandating data storage and processing within national borders.
  • Government exemptions from data protection rules could lead to potential misuse of individuals' personal data by authorities.
  • Lack of clear guidelines on government access to data may undermine individuals' privacy rights and data security.
  • Balancing national security concerns with data protection principles is crucial to avoid overreach by authorities.
