政府於 1 月 3 日發布了 2025 年 DPDP 規則草案，並在 2024 年 2 月 18 日之前公開徵求公眾意見。

The Union Minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, stated on Tuesday that the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules will be further refined to connect children with technology while protecting them from any potential harms in the digital realm.

電子和資訊技術聯盟部長 Ashwini Vaishnaw 週二表示，將進一步完善數位個人資料保護 (DPDP) 規則，將兒童與技術聯繫起來，同時保護他們免受數位領域的任何潛在傷害。

During a press briefing, the minister highlighted that the rules will continue to evolve based on the learning acquired from their implementation.

在新聞發布會上，部長強調，這些規則將根據從實施中獲得的經驗繼續發展。

"We will refine it (DPDP Rules) further to take the power of technology to children while saving them from many harms," Vaishnaw said.

「我們將進一步完善它（DPDP 規則），將技術的力量帶給兒童，同時使他們免受許多傷害，」Vaishnaw 說。

The government had issued the draft DPDP Rules 2025 on January 3, which are open for public consultation till February 18, 2024.

政府於1月3日發布了2025年DPDP規則草案，並在2024年2月18日之前公開徵求公眾意見。

As per the draft rules, digital platforms can process the data of a child only after obtaining consent from a verifiable guardian or parents.

根據草案規則，數位平台只有在獲得可驗證的監護人或父母的同意後才能處理兒童的資料。

The verification can be done either through voluntarily provided details of identity and age or a virtual token issued by an entity entrusted by law or by the Centre or state governments to maintain details of a person.

驗證可以透過自願提供的身份和年齡詳細資訊或由法律或中心或州政府委託的實體發行的虛擬代幣來完成，以維護個人詳細資料。

Vaishnaw noted that the token system has been successfully employed in various cases, such as verification for Aadhaar-based transactions.

Vaishnaw 指出，代幣系統已成功應用於各種情況，例如基於 Aadhaar 的交易的驗證。

"The tokens will be temporary and limited to one transaction after which it will be destroyed automatically," he said.

「這些代幣將是暫時的，僅限於一筆交易，之後它將被自動銷毀，」他說。

The minister further stated that sector-specific guidelines may be issued if the need arises and only after consultation with the sectoral experts and stakeholders.

部長進一步表示，如果有需要，並且只有在與部門專家和利益相關者協商後，才可以發布針對特定部門的指南。

He emphasized that there will be no risk to an individual's privacy from verification done through virtual tokens.

他強調，透過虛擬代幣進行驗證不會對個人隱私造成風險。

The DPDP Act will not affect whistleblowers, as they are protected under the law, the minister added.

部長補充說，DPDP 法案不會影響舉報人，因為他們受到法律保護。

Moreover, there is no limit set for filing complaints under the DPDP Act.

此外，DPDP 法案對提出投訴沒有限制。
