Trusted jurisdictions tag on those nations which respect rights of data principal

New Delhi: The government will declare only those geographies or countries as “trusted jurisdictions” where the rights of the data principal, as laid out in the draft of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Bill of 2022, are protected and respected, the minister of state for electronics and information technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar said.

“There is a certain amount of reciprocity as we look to the future of digital trade and corridors of trust. In a post-Covid world, instead of globalisation and free for all, there will be these corridors of trust that will be between India and other like-minded nations,” Chandrasekhar said during a public consultation on the DPDP Bill of 2022.
