Section 15Rights and Duties of Data Principal
Duties of Data Principal
Official statutory text · Gazette of India
Every Data Principal shall comply with the provisions of all applicable laws while exercising rights under this Act, and ensure not to impersonate another person while providing personal data, suppress material information, register a false or frivolous grievance or complaint, and furnish only such information as is verifiably authentic while exercising the right to correction or erasure.
Plain-language explanation
- Rights come with reciprocal duties: providing false identity information, filing frivolous complaints, or submitting fabricated correction requests are themselves statutory breaches, enforceable with the modest ₹10,000 penalty under the Schedule.
