তৈরির সম্ভাবনা হিসেবে সমালোচনা করেছেন। বোর্ডের স্বাধীনতা: ডেটা প্রোটেকশন বোর্ডের সদস্য নিয়োগে কেন্দ্রীয় সরকারের ভূমিকা এর স্বাধীনতা নিয়ে প্রশ্ন তুলেছে। সীমিত অধিকার: GDPR-এর তুলনায় এই আইনে ডেটা পোর্টেবিলিটি বা স্বয়ংক্রিয় সিদ্ধান্ত গ্রহণের বিরোধিতার অধিকার নেই, যা ব্যক্তিগত নিয়ন্ত্রণকে সীমিত করে। অ-ডিজিটাল ডেটা: এই আইন শুধুমাত্র ডিজিটাল ডেটার উপর প্রযোজ্য, যার ফলে অ-ডিজিটাল ডেটার সুরক্ষা অরক্ষিত থেকে যায়। GDPR-এর সাথে তুলনা # DPDP অ্যাক্ট এবং GDPR-এর মধ্যে কিছু মিল থাকলেও উল্লেখযোগ্য পার্থক্য রয়েছে:\nপ্রয়োগের ক্ষেত্র: GDPR সকল ধরনের ব্যক্তিগত ডেটার উপর প্রযোজ্য, যেখানে DPDP শুধুমাত্র ডিজিটাল ডেটার উপর প্রযোজ্য। সংবেদনশীল ডেটা: GDPR সংবেদনশীল ব্যক্তিগত ডেটার জন্য বিশেষ সুরক্ষা প্রদান করে, কিন্তু DPDP এই ধরনের পার্থক্য করে না। নিয়ন্ত্রক সংস্থা: GDPR-এর অধীনে স্বাধীন ডেটা প্রোটেকশন অথরিটি রয়েছে, কিন্তু DPDP-এর বোর্ড সরকারের প্রভাবাধীন। অধিকার: GDPR ডেটা পোর্টেবিলিটি এবং স্বয়ংক্রিয় সিদ্ধান্ত গ্রহণের বিরোধিতার অধিকার প্রদান করে, যা DPDP-তে অনুপস্থিত। উপসংহার # ডিজিটাল পার্সোনাল ডেটা প্রোটেকশন অ্যাক্ট, ২০২৩ ভারতের ডেটা সুরক্ষা কাঠামোর জন্য একটি যুগান্তকারী পদক্ষেপ। এটি ব্যক্তিগত গোপনীয়তার অধিকার নিশ্চিত করার পাশাপাশি ব্যবসায়িক প্রতিষ্ঠানগুলির জন্য একটি স্পষ্ট আইনি কাঠামো প্রদান করে। তবে, সরকারি ছাড়, বোর্ডের স্বাধীনতার অভাব এবং সীমিত অধিকারের কারণে এটি সমালোচনার সম্মুখীন হয়েছে। আইনটির কার্যকর প্রয়োগ এবং ভবিষ্যতে প্রণীত নিয়মাবলী এর সাফল্য নির্ধারণ করবে। ভারতের ডিজিটাল অর্থনীতির প্রেক্ষাপটে এই আইনটি ব্যক্তিগত গোপনীয়তা এবং উদ্ভাবনের মধ্যে ভারসাম্য বজায় রাখার একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ পদক্ষেপ হিসেবে বিবেচিত হবে।\nতথ্যসূত্র # Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 - Wikipedia Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2022/23 - www.dpdpa.in Data protection laws in India - www.dlapiperdataprotection.com Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 Overview - Tax Guru India Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act) Overview - usercentrics.com The Digital Personal Data Protection Act of India, Explained - fpf.org The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023: A New Era of Privacy - lawfullegal.in DATA PRIVACY AND PROTECTION IN INDIA - thelegalquorum.com Data Protection Laws in India: A Complete Guide for 2025 - www.lloydlawcollege.edu.in ","date":"25 August 2025","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/digital-data-protection-act/","section":"Posts","summary":"","title":"Digital Data Protection Act","type":"posts"},{"content":"","date":"25 August 2025","externalUrl":null,"permalink":"/posts/","section":"Posts","summary":"","title":"Posts","type":"posts"},{"content":"Welcome to the Polity section.
