    Who is referred to as the “Data Principal” under the

    Act?
    A The person processing data Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The government authority Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C The individual to whom the data relates Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D The company collecting data Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E The Data Protection Board Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under the Act, a Data Principal is the natural person whose personal data is being collected or processed. For children, the parent or guardian is treated as the Data Principal. This ensures that control over data remains with the individual. It is not the company, government authority, or processor. The concept empowers individuals to exercise rights like access, correction, and erasure of their data, centralizing their role in data protection.
