PIL in Delhi High Court against leak of vehicle owners' personal info by mobile apps

A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking to protect vehicle owners’ personal information from being accessed by mobile apps. The PIL argues that several mobile applications are collecting and misusing personal data of vehicle owners, including their names, addresses, and contact details, without their consent. The petitioner contends that this practice violates the right to privacy and poses a significant risk of identity theft and other cybercrimes. The PIL seeks directions to the government to regulate the collection and use of personal data by mobile apps and to ensure that vehicle owners’ information is adequately protected.
