The COVID-19 pandemic has turned into a global emergency, with terrible
implications in terms of human life and economic decline. This lethal disease and its
economic consequences have wreaked havoc on each and every section of the
society. During the pandemic, government officials and businesses had to strike a
balance between two competing priorities: public health and personal privacy. Some
actions aimed at limiting the virus's transmission and maybe saving lives may have
major human-rights consequences.
While many public-health authorities do not necessitate data collecting, others may
infringe on privacy concerns for people. Government authorities and businesses
may find themselves on the horns of a dilemma, contemplating ways to stop the
virus from spreading but also severely restricting the rights and freedoms of the
people whose lives they aim to safeguard. This calls for the need to formulate
stringent Data Privacy Laws so that the sensitive personal data collected is
safeguarded.

The Seminar aims to examine and analyze the Data Protection and Data Privacy
in today’s times. The International Seminar will be attended by various international
delegates and speakers as also representatives from the national Diaspora
representing the stakeholders in the digital ecosystem and alive web. These would
include representatives from the Central Government & State Governments,
various Ministries, Law Enforcement Agencies, Police, Business, Information
Technology, Corporate Sector, Academicians, Scholars, Service Providers,
International Organizations and distinguished thought leaders.

Objective

To provide a platform for stakeholder like organizations working in international

and national level, legislatures, civil societies, researchers, practitioners,
academicians, activists and policy makers to deliberate and discuss on what is
