政府于 1 月 3 日发布了 2025 年 DPDP 规则草案，并在 2024 年 2 月 18 日之前公开征求公众意见。

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.

电子和信息技术联盟部长 Ashwini Vaishnaw 周二表示，将进一步完善数字个人数据保护 (DPDP) 规则，将儿童与技术联系起来，同时保护他们免受数字领域的任何潜在伤害。

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

在新闻发布会上，部长强调，这些规则将根据从实施中获得的经验继续发展。

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

“我们将进一步完善它（DPDP 规则），将技术的力量带给儿童，同时使他们免受许多伤害，”Vaishnaw 说。

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

政府于1月3日发布了2025年DPDP规则草案，并在2024年2月18日之前公开征求公众意见。

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

根据草案规则，数字平台只有在获得可验证的监护人或父母的同意后才能处理儿童的数据。

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.

验证可以通过自愿提供的身份和年龄详细信息或由法律或中心或州政府委托的实体发行的虚拟代币来完成，以维护个人详细信息。

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

Vaishnaw 指出，代币系统已成功应用于各种情况，例如基于 Aadhaar 的交易的验证。

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

“这些代币将是暂时的，仅限于一笔交易，之后它将被自动销毁，”他说。

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.

部长进一步表示，如果有需要，并且只有在与部门专家和利益相关者协商后，才可以发布针对具体部门的指导方针。

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

他强调，通过虚拟代币进行验证不会对个人隐私造成风险。

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

部长补充说，DPDP 法案不会影响举报人，因为他们受到法律保护。

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

此外，DPDP 法案对提出投诉没有限制。
