Corporate Internship Programme (CIP)
Corporate Internship Programme 2022
Business Context
Businesses are processing personal data more than ever today – they collect it excessively, they process and share it unanimously, they retain it indefinitely and they seldom secure it appropriately. Businesses have unfettered policies, processes, technology, and workforce. They have clear business goals and strategies. However, at times, they do not bother about the quality of data and protection of data, over which apparently, their whole business model is relying. The consumers have trusted them with their personal data and businesses have an ethical duty to safeguard their interests, rights, and freedom.
Since last half a decade, with emergence of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR), and other similar and stringent data protection laws emanating from various jurisdictions, data protection is considered as not only an ethical concern, but also now a compliance concern, backed by sanctions. To substantiate, EU has recently barred any prima facie trans-Atlantic personal data transfers to US because of the surveillance activities conducted there. The essence is that non-compliance is not an option.
