班加罗尔:数字支付公司质疑的健壮性事务由用户生成的数据使用安全支付平台的全球技术公司包括谷歌和脸谱网,因为美国的社交网络是被指控滥用消费者数据在其本土市场。Facebook-ownedWhatsApp和搜索引擎巨头谷歌已经进入了印度支付生态系统通过与各合作银行使用统一的支付接口(UPI)平台,在最近几个月。
行业团体说,他们担心印度消费者使用这些平台,可以在风险得到他们的事务数据用于盈利目的。
支付行业高管交谈,说,在印度,这些实体不仅对社会数据的访问他们的消费者,但现在将获得金融行为的用户,他们说,滥用开辟了途径。
“这是一个严重关切的问题,个人数据共享的用户在Facebook上被滥用,也与一个国家的国家利益。作为印度人我们应该非常关注和警惕,这样的公司是印度银行系统获得一个敏感的国家支付骨干通过WhatsApp,”一个说Paytm发言人。
Alibaba-backed Paytm竞争谷歌特斯在印度和WhatsApp支付。
然而,多个银行家交谈,工作与WhatsApp启用UPI支付平台,确认没有UPI应用程序访问个人信息的消费者,如银行或账户细节。他们只了解消费者的交易行为。
网络安全专家认为,虽然像Facebook和谷歌这样的公司有最高的安全标准和数据保护系统在全球范围内,需要更严格的隐私法在印度。还有一个需要调查的访问应用程序的用户的智能手机。
“我们不能继续比赛,但需要加强安全监管,以防止数据失窃以及确保数据隐私,一些在欧洲等发达国家已经做了什么。从网络安全防范的角度来看,印度公司全球科技巨头明显落后,“说比巴莱、创始人之一启动FireCompass网络安全。

BENGALURU<\/a>: Digital payment companies are questioning the robustness of security of transaction data generated by users using payment platforms of global technology corporations including Google<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>, as the American social network is assailed by allegations of misuse of consumer data in its home market.Facebook-owned WhatsApp<\/a> and search engine giant Google have entered the Indian payments ecosystem through partnerships with various banks using the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) platform, in recent months.
Industry groupings say, they fear Indian consumers using these platforms, could be at risk<\/a> of getting their transaction data used for profit making purposes.
<\/div><\/div>\u201cThis might be the time that lawmakers in India also ask questions about what safety does Facebook provide to Indian consumers against an apparent compromise of personal data through its APIs<\/a>. Banks, especially, should ask about the safety of personal financial data of their customers connected through the UPI integration,\u201d said Shubho Ray, president of IAMAI (Internet<\/a> and Mobile Association of India). Emails sent to Google and Facebook to did not get a response at the time of filing the story.
Payment industry executives ET spoke to, said that in India, these entities not only have access to social data of their consumers, but will now get access to financial behaviour of the users, which they say, opens up avenues for misuse.
\u201cIt is a matter of grave concern that personal data shared by users on Facebook has been misused and that too, against the national interest of a country. As Indians<\/a>, we should be extremely concerned and vigilant that such a company is getting access to India's banking systems on a sensitive national payment backbone through WhatsApp,\u201d said a Paytm<\/a> spokesperson.
Alibaba-backed Paytm competes with Google Tez<\/a> and WhatsApp Payments in India.
However, multiple bankers ET spoke to, who are working in partnership with WhatsApp to enable UPI payments on their platform, confirmed that no UPI application gets access to personal details of consumers such as banking or account details. They only get a sense of the transaction behaviour of the consumer.

<\/div><\/div>\u201c(But) they might use their analytics to push through more targeted promotion campaigns to their customers,\u201d said a senior banker.
Cyber security<\/a> experts are of the view that while companies like Facebook and Google have the highest security standards and data protection systems globally, there is a need for stricter privacy laws in India. There is also a need to look into the amount of access apps get on the user's smartphone.
\u201cWe cannot keep competition out, but there is a need for enhanced security regulations to prevent data theft as well as ensure data privacy, something what advanced economies like in Europe have already done. From the perspective of cyber security preparedness, Indian startups are significantly behind global tech giants,\u201d said Bikash Barai, cofounder of cyber security startup FireCompass. <\/div><\/div>
