How aware and prepared are Indian consumers and businesses to navigate the new era of digital privacy?

A recent survey conducted by PwC India, titled, “How aware and prepared are Indian consumers and businesses to navigate the new era of digital privacy? A survey of India’s data privacy landscape” , explores the prevailing perceptions about privacy, trust and concerns about free data sharing and its potential misuse by many organisations. The survey underlines the pressing need for building a privacy respecting and privacy aware culture in India and having a privacy first approach in organisations.

56%

of consumers not aware of their rights related to personal data.

42%

consumers were not sure if they would continue using the services of a company post a data breach. This rate is higher in Tier 1 cities at 72%.

70 %

consumers said that they find privacy policies difficult to understand

Strong risk and resilience capabilities can be the difference between those that thrive and those that fight to survive.

The interconnectedness and velocity of risks has increased in recent years, and it now takes different approaches to see them, and the entire organisation to address them. In becoming more proactive in preparing and adapting to risks, you can become more resilient. With the right insight, you can mitigate and prepare for whatever change is ahead. Disruption will always exist. But through building resilience, you’ll have a strategic advantage and be better placed to respond to disruption in a seamless, coordinated and efficient manner.
