obligations like seeking fresh consent for personal data that has been collected, used, disclosed, retained or stored prior to the enactment of the law will be difficult to comply with. The international experience in this regard is instructive. In South Africa, it is not clear whether the POPI Act has retrospective application. This is because Section 114(1) of the POPI Act states that ―All processing of personal information must within one year after the commencement of this section be made to conform to this Act.‖ However, it appears that there is legal consensus on the issue that the POPI Act does not have retrospective application. 206 Further, in Canada, where it is not explicitly clear from a reading of PIPEDA whether it applies retrospectively, the prevalent view is that it does not have retrospective application. 207 The implication of this is that PIPEDA being consent centric, it was not necessary for organisations to obtain consent for collection of pre-PIPEDA information. However, future use and disclosure of data will be regulated by the PIPEDA. 208 2.4 Provisional Views 1. Given prevalent best practices, the law may apply to natural persons only. The primary object of the legislation being to protect the informational privacy right of an individual, the proposed law may not be extended to include data relating to companies and other juristic entities. 2. The law may apply to data about natural persons processed both by public and private entities. However, limited exemptions may be considered for well defined categories of public or private sector entities. 3. The law may have a transitory provision to address the issue of retrospective application. 2.5 Questions 1. What are your views on the issues relating to applicability of a data protection law in India in relation to (i) natural/juristic persons; (ii) public and private sector; and (iii) retrospective application of such law? 2. Should the law seek to protect data relating to juristic persons in addition to protecting personal data relating to individuals? Alternatives: 206 Russel Luck, ‗POPI - is South Africa keeping up with international trends?‘ 84(44) De Rebus (May 2014) , available at: http://www.saflii.org/za/journals/DEREBUS/2014/84.html, (last accessed 28 October 2017). 207 ‗Compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act‘, Aylesworth LLP, available at: http://documents.jdsupra.com/4217f03e-a265-4711-a230-103d2a5f3140.pdf, (last accessed 28 October 2017). 208 ‗Compliance with the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act‘, Aylesworth LLP, available at: http://documents.jdsupra.com/4217f03e-a265-4711-a230-103d2a5f3140.pdf, (last accessed 28 October 2017). 32
a. The law could regulate personal data of natural persons alone. b. The law could regulate data of natural persons and companies as in South Africa. However, this is rare as most data protection legislations protect data of natural persons alone. 3. Should the law be applicable to government/public and private entities processing data equally? If not, should there be a separate law to regulate government/public entities collecting data? Alternatives: a. Have a common law imposing obligations on Government and private bodies as is the case in most jurisdictions. Legitimate interests of the State can be protected through relevant exemptions and other provisions. b. Have different laws defining obligations on the government and the private sector. 4. Should the law provide protection retrospectively? If yes, what should be the extent of retrospective application? Should the law apply in respect of lawful and fair processing of data collected prior to the enactment of the law? Alternatives: a. The law should be applicable retrospectively in respect of all obligations. b. The law will apply to processes such as storing, sharing, etc. irrespective of when data was collected while some requirements such as grounds of processing may be relaxed for data collected in the past. 5. Should the law provide for a time period within which all regulated entities will have to comply with the provisions of the data protection law? 6. Are there any other views relating to the above concepts? 33
