Pacta & Saksham request your help in either distributing a survey or providing us with the names of potential participants for the survey that will inform a study to understand digital consent and data privacy for persons with disabilities. Details of the study are below.
*In August 2023, the Parliament of India passed The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 a legislation for the protection of digital personal data. As per the DPDP Act, consent for the collection of data on persons with disabilities shall be taken from their lawful guardian, where appointed (similar to the requirement of substituted consent from parents in respect of children). This implies that a person with a disability may not be able to give autonomous consent for digital data sharing. Following the DPDP Act, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is set to release the DPDP Rules in June 2024. As a run-up to this, we’d like to compile and put forth challenges and recommendations from stakeholders to inform the rule-making process.* Through the survey, we want to understand the internet usage of people with disabilities, attitudes towards data sharing and privacy, and the role of the legal guardian (where present) in accessing the internet. The survey form is in English and hosted on Google Forms. I am sharing a message below that can be passed on to persons with disabilities. Are you between 18-50 years of age and are a user of the internet? We want to hear from you! Pacta and Saksham Disability are conducting a study on digital consent and data privacy for persons with disabilities. The survey will ask you questions about your internet usage and how you navigate the terms and conditions and privacy policy on websites. All we need is 5 minutes of your time to fill out a survey! The information you share will be kept confidential and used only for research purposes. The link to the survey is below. https://forms.gle/2RZqbxVkJTaScTsj9 If you know others who are within the mentioned age group and are willing to take part, please pass on the survey to them! If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to: Krithika at krith...@pacta.in or Geetanjali at geetanj...@pacta.in For those who would like to take the survey over a call, we are happy to arrange for a call back.
