Social media companies may have to delete data of users away for three years

The Indian government is considering rules that would mandate the permanent deletion of personal data from social media and other internet platforms after three consecutive years of user inactivity. The draft executive rules of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act also propose extending this requirement to ecommerce companies, online marketplaces, gaming intermediaries, and all social media intermediaries. Additionally, the rules may allow certain healthcare and educational institutions to use publicly available personal and non-personal data for public health, research, and statistical purposes. The proposal aims to abolish the concept of perpetual consent for processing personal data.
