    Personal Data Protection Act, 2023? 
    A Individual whose data is processed Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Entity that determines purpose and means of processing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Government officer monitoring compliance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Authority resolving disputes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A Data Fiduciary is the entity (person, company, government, or body) that determines why and how personal data is processed. It is responsible for compliance under the Act. The individual whose data is processed is the Data Principal, not the fiduciary. The fiduciary has obligations like obtaining consent, ensuring security, and upholding individual rights. This distinction makes fiduciaries accountable for lawful and fair processing of data within India’s data protection framework.
