The following is a list of comprehensive resources, encompassing laws related to data privacy and security. Some of these are as follows:

 1. Section 43A – Compensation for failure to protect data.

2. Section 66 – Computer Related Offences

3. Section 66A – Punishment for sending offensive messages through communication service, etc. (This provision had been struck down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court as unconstitutional on 24th March 2015 in Shreya Singhal vs. Union of India)

4. Section 66B – Punishment for dishonestly receiving stolen computer resource or communication device.

5. Section 66C – Punishment for identity theft.

6. Section 66D – Punishment for cheating by personation by using computer resource.

7. Section 66E – Punishment for violation for privacy.

8. Section 66F – Punishment for cyber terrorism.

9. Section 67 – Punishment for publishing or transmitting obscene material in electronic form.

10. Section 67A – Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material containing sexually explicit act, etc, in electronic form.

11. Section 67B – Punishment for publishing or transmitting of material depicting children in sexually explicit act, etc, in electronic form.

12. Section 67C – Preservation and Retention of information by intermediaries.

13. Section 69 – Powers to issue directions for interception or monitoring or decryption of any information through any computer resource.

14. Section 69A – Power to issue directions for blocking for public access of any information through any computer resource.

15. Section 69B – Power to authorize to monitor and collect traffic data or information through any computer resource for cyber security.

16. Section 72A – Punishment for disclosure of information in breach of lawful contract.

17. Section 79 – Exemption from liability of intermediary in certain cases.

18. Section 84A –Modes or methods for encryption.

19. Section 84B –Punishment for abetment of offences.

20. Section 84C –Punishment for attempt to commit offences.

From the above instances, we see that there are various instances where the protection of data can be breached due to our careless use. This can even be misused by any other person in order to execute cybercrimes, extortion and many such crimes. 

Isn't it still a better option to use the data judiciously?
