The right to privacy is recognised as a fundamental right by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) v. Union of India W. P. Civil No. 494 of 2012 which has declared right to privacy as a fundamental right under Article 21. Furthermore, the Information Technology Act, 2008 provides for punishment in case of breach of confidentiality and privacy. Needless to state, data protection and the prevention of its misuse is equally the responsibility of the Corporation even in case if the work is outsourced to any third party. Further, there exists a potent chance of pivotal information being shared by the office personnel of the outsourced entity, without any authorisation from the outsourcing entity and the same can also cast a cascading effect.
