In part 6 of the #DataProtectionTop10 series, we look at the issues with the restrictions on the transfer of personal data outside India that have been imposed under the Bill.

We recommend that the Bill explicitly define critical personal data and should not impose undue restrictions that affect the open nature of the internet.
