The government has pulled down its draft guidelines on data anonymisation<\/a>, the third such instance of a public consultation being removed this year. 政府拆除准则草案数据匿名化,第三个这样的公众咨询的实例被删除。
The guidelines were put up for feedback by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology<\/a> (MeitY<\/a>) on August 30.
Sources said the draft had been “released without adequate expert consultation.”
“It is a complex issue and needs wider consultation with other government departments and ministries as well. We will talk to experts again, look at global examples and examine them, and then put up the draft for public consultation in a few days,” a senior IT ministry official said, asking not to be named.
ET reported on September 2 that MeitY had invited public comments on the draft guidelines.
Data anonymisation is one of many privacy-enhancing techniques that removes or minimizes the identifiability of individuals in large data sets of personal information.
It reduces risk, and enables entities to process, share and publish data for various purposes, making it useful while optimising privacy.
The draft states that all e-governance projects apply data anonymisation as a norm and identify and record exceptions.
After hosting it on its egovstandards website, MeitY has removed it completely, said Prateek Waghre, policy<\/a> director, Internet Freedom Foundation.
The webpage for the consultation, whose deadline for submission of comments was September 21, seems to have been updated.
Documents related to the consultation can no longer be found there. An archived version of the page confirms that the documents were previously listed on it.
This is the third such documented instance this year of a public consultation process being interrupted without any notice or acknowledgment.
Previously, the proposed draft amendment to the IT Rules<\/a>, 2021 and the draft India Data Accessibility<\/a> & Use Policy, 2022 also faced similar issues.
“The draft India Data Accessibility and Use Policy was updated without any information to the public that it had been updated. The draft amendments to the IT Rules resurfaced a week after being taken down with a press note for context. MeitY should come clear on whether the public consultation is still on the draft put out in August. This quiet taking down of public documents sets an unhealthy precedent,” Waghre said.
Such actions reduce public trust in the policy consultation process and make it harder for interested stakeholders to engage with the government meaningfully, he pointed out.
MeitY had entrusted the Standardization Testing Quality Certification Directorate and the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), Pune, to formulate standards and guidelines in the areas of e-governance.
These standards and guidelines shall ensure sharing of information and seamless interoperability of data across e-governance applications. One of the topics under e-governance applications is anonymisation of data.
Accordingly, C-DAC constituted a Working Group of 14 subject matter specialists whose primary goal was to frame guidelines for anonymising data when personal information is processed and shared, especially in various e-governance applications.

的指导方针进行反馈电子和信息技术(MeitY在8月30日)。
消息人士表示,草案已经“没有足够的专家咨询发布。”
“这是一个复杂的问题,需要更广泛的磋商与其他政府部门和部门。我们会再次跟专家,看看全球的例子并检查它们,然后把公众咨询的草案几天,”一位高级官员说,要求不透露姓名。
数据匿名化是许多注重隐私的技术之一,消除或减少个人可识别性的大型数据集的个人信息。

咨询的网页的最后期限提交的评论是9月21日,似乎已经被更新。
咨询相关文档不再能被发现。存档的文件版本的页面确认以前上市。
这是今年第三次记录实例的公众咨询过程在没有任何通知的情况下被打断或承认。
此前,该修正案草案它的规则2021草案印度数据的可访问性&使用政策,2022也面临类似的问题。
“印度数据可访问性和使用政策草案是公众没有任何更新信息,已被更新。草案修改规则重新浮现一个星期后被撤下的媒体注意上下文。MeitY应该清楚公众咨询是否仍在8月份提出草案。这安静的公共文件集的一种不健康的先例,”Waghre说。
这样的行动减少公众对政策的信任协商过程,让感兴趣的利益相关者更难有意义地参与政府事务,他指出。
MeitY委托了标准化测试中心的质量认证理事会和开发先进的计算(C-DAC),浦那(制定标准和指导方针等领域的电子政务。
这些标准和指导方针应确保共享信息和数据在电子政务应用的无缝互操作性。电子政务应用下的主题之一是匿名化的数据。
因此,C-DAC 14个主题专家组成一个工作小组的主要目标是框架指南匿名数据处理和共享个人信息时,尤其是在各种电子政务应用程序。
