DSCI DCPP-01 Exam Questions

The requesting entity is expected to inform the individual, at the time of e-KYC authentication, what information will be shared with it by UIDAI on authentication and the purpose for which the information would be used. It is expected that notice is provided in the local language as well -- to ensure that the individual understands clearly what he/she is getting into. Any other entity other than the requesting entity that collects individual's Aadhaar number or even a document containing the Aadhaar number is also required to inform the individual the purpose of collection, whether it is mandatory and what are the alternatives. Consent After providing notice, the requesting entity is required to obtain the consent of the individual before collecting the identity information. The information may be collected in physical or, preferably, in electronic form. A record or log of the consent is also required to be maintained in the format specified by UIDAI. A requesting entity can do e-KYC authentication on behalf of a third party and share the e-KYC data with the third party for a specific purpose. However, it needs to take consent of the individual for this purpose. For any sharing of e-KYC data with a third party, a separate consent for each such sharing is required. The individual himself/herself may share their data with other entities. However, those entities cannot further share the data with any other entity without obtaining the individual's consent every single time it does a share. Similarly, any other entity other than the requesting entity that collects individual's Aadhaar number or any document containing the Aadhaar number is also required to obtain the consent of the individual for the collection, storage and usage of the individual's Aadhaar number for the purpose specified. The individual has the freedom to revoke any of the earlier consent(s) given, and requesting entity would be required to delete e-KYC data along with ceasing its ability to share further. Usage and Purpose The requesting entity can use the identity information of an individual only for the purpose specified to the individual at the time of authentication or e-KYC. Similarly, any other entity other than the requesting entity that collects individual's Aadhaar number or any document containing the Aadhaar number can use the Aadhaar number only for those purposes specified to the individual at the time of obtaining his consent. Any other entity other than the requesting entity that collects individual's Aadhaar number or any document containing the Aadhaar number is not permitted to share the Aadhaar number with any other person without obtaining the consent of the individual. Disclosure The core biometric information collected under the Act is not allowed to be shared with anyone for any reason whatsoever. This is applicable to UIDAI as well as all agencies in the ecosystem. A requesting entity can share the identity data, including the e-KYC data, with third parties for any lawful purposes provided specific consent from the individual for the same has been obtained. However, the third party, in turn, cannot share it further with any other third party except to complete a transaction- that too only if the individual has given specific consent.
