Governments abroad call Data Protection Bill a ‘landmark’ regulation

Countries such as Norway and South Africa have called the passage of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act a “landmark” regulation and said that the legislation offers “invaluable lessons” to the world on how safeguards can be applied to the global South.

Countries such as New Zealand said that they are taking a ‘keen interest’ in the implementation of the Bill and also its approach to privacy regulation, according to a report in The Economic Times (ET).

Some countries, such as Norway, are planning to introduce clauses that could mirror those in the DPDP Bill.
