Data Privacy and User Rights in Digital Libraries - Need for legal safeguards in India

Author(s) Mr Swaraj Jitendra Kadam, Mr. Arvind Nivrutti Dagale
Country India
Abstract Digital libraries have transformed the way information is accessed, shared, and preserved in India. Students now depend a lot on online sources for learning, from Digital Library maintained by universities. But, this fast move to digital libraries has brought up different questions about data privacy and user rights. Digital libraries collect most of data, like personal information, search history, reading habits, device data, and behavior insights. Without strong privacy protections, there's a real danger of misuse, profiling, watching, and data sharing. This paper looks at how Indian law now deals with these worries and current rules, such as the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, are good enough to protect digital library users. By comparing Indias approach with international norms, the paper shows key gaps in legal protections. It also checks the technical and organizational problems libraries have in making sure of privacy and suggests changes to make a safe, clear, and rights-based digital learning space. The need for specific privacy rules in digital libraries is a key demand for India’s growing knowledge system.
