6 is repeated twice. +1 for #6 about General Obligations of a Data Fiduciary.
I’m sorry for being late to the party but my two cents - Data Principals should be able to challenge Data Fiduciaries when they feel that the digital personal data being collected is not really essential for the delivery of goods and/or services. It is common knowledge that the industry (Data Fiduciaries/DF) collect more digital personal data than necessary and the bill can push DFs to reduce the amount of unnecessary data collection.
Inspired in part by the existing Section 7 (8), “Data Fiduciaries are prevented from denying service to Data Principals if Data Principals
refuse to consent to additional data collection not necessary to a concluded contract.”.
This was my suggestion/submission for the final assignment as part of the Takshashila GCPP T&P programme. See Empower_Data_Principals_Poruri_Sai_Rahul_GCPP_TP.pdf (373.2 KB) for additional details.
