Even as demonetisation pushes for more and more cashless and online transactions through, e-wallets, banks and other such apps, there is a serious lack of clarity on how these companies handle customer data, and how it is shared with other entities.  "Data is the new oil," is an oft repeated phrase in nearly every technology related conversation that comes up anywhere in India today.

Apart from the conflation of commercial data protection and privacy, the right to privacy bill has ill-informed and poorly drafted provisions to regulate surveillance.

In this chapter we attempt to build a catalogue of these various
justifications, without attempting to be exhaustive, with the objective of arriving at a
rough taxonomy of such frequently invoked terms. In addition we also examine some the
more important justifications such as “public interest” and “security of the state” that
have been invoked in statutes and upheld by courts to deprive persons of their privacy.
