According to new report, the Indian government has more or less washed its hands of Google's new privacy policy. However, it has been warmly criticised in Europe and elsewhere but Indian Govt wants Indian residents to watch out for themselves. As of now, Google is counting more sales solutions,and recently they have figured greater revenues to cope up with further competitions in a bright manner. However, sales solutions are configured as per companies' new strategies and business policies and Google is no way lagging behind for any strategic planning. It has been found by the Indian Govt that Google's new privacy policy provides information on how personal information is collected, processed and secured, as required by relevant Indian laws and therefore, it may be worthy to keep up the policy for further information collection. Sachin Pilot, India's minister for information technology said with regard to this, "The end users, however, need to fully understand the privacy policy of Google, the consequences of sharing their personal information and their privacy rights before they start using online services. Google has published a Privacy Policy on their website. Any change in the privacy policy is not within the purview of amended Information Technology Act 2000. While France's independent privacy watchdog, the CNIL (nationale de I'informatique et des libertes) has said that the changes to Google's privacy policy do not comply with the European law, rectification of conflict between Google, an American company and European directive on data protection is not within the purview of the Indian government. CNIL, the data protection watchdog in France had asked Google to answer 69 questions including what it does with the data collected from users and how long it is retained to better understand the consequences of the new policy for Google users." Sunil Abraham, executive director at the Centre for Internet and Society said with regard to this, "Section 43A does not have all the privacy safeguards that exist for citizen in developed countries. Google privacy policy is in compliance with Sec 43A of IT Act but cautioned that it may not be enough. It is important to have a independent and autonomous regulator who can respond on a proactive basis when confronted with evidence of abusive practices." cyber law expert Vakul Sharma said, "Users must be aware that Google's new policy does not have room for categorization according to Indian laws. It is a plain vanilla document. The users need more. Legal provisions will have to enable the creation of such a regulator. You can not create a regulator out of thin air. You should have legislation for privacy. In India we do not have any such legislation."
