World Privacy Forum founder and multi-government advisor Pam Dixon calls for policymakers to take lessons from fundamental failings in India. Indias Aadhar digital biometric system mandatory for vital government and public services has currently no data and privacy protection legislation. The Indian Supreme Court has ruled privacy is a fundamental right, but has not yet tackled the question of the legality of the Aadhaar project. The World Bank estimates that 50% of countries with a national identity card system do have not had any data protection legislation in place.”]
