Certified Information Privacy Professional – Asia (CIPP/A) — Question 38

Under India's IT Rules 2011, data subjects have the right to correct inaccuracies in personal information collected about them only if?

Answer options

• A. They are also the providers of the information.
• B. They confirm their consent to maintain the information.
• C. They are able to prove the legitimacy of the corrections.
• D. They request the corrections within a specified amount of time.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because under the IT Rules 2011, individuals can only correct inaccuracies if they are the ones who provided the information. The other options do not align with the stipulations of the IT Rules, as consent, proof of legitimacy, or time constraints are not required for making corrections to one's own data.
