NITI Aayog Study Calls for Clear Digi Yatra Privacy Policies

A NITI Aayog study emphasizes the need for comprehensive rules for the deletion of passenger information in the Digi Yatra platform. The report highlights privacy concerns and recommends frequent cybersecurity and algorithmic audits. The policy must comply with privacy laws and provide clear guidelines for data retention and opt-in consent for additional services.

The NITI Aayog study stresses the urgency for detailed guidelines surrounding the deletion of passenger information on the Digi Yatra platform. With rising privacy concerns, it is essential that the rules for data deletion post-travel are explicit.

Leveraging Facial Recognition Technology (FRT), Digi Yatra offers contactless movement at airport checkpoints. However, the policy needs to clearly state the process for deleting collected biometric and other passenger data from various registries.

The study further recommends regular cybersecurity and algorithmic audits to fortify the system reliability, adhering to the constitutional right to privacy as laid out in K.S. Puttaswamy vs. Union of India.
