Qualcomm has opposed any move to make it mandatory for companies to store customers’ personal data locally, saying any such blanket regulation – like the one India is planning – can hit the competitiveness of a company and limit consumers’ choice.
NEW DELHI: US chipmaker Qualcomm has opposed any move to make it mandatory for companies to store customers’ personal data locally, saying any such blanket regulation – like the one India is planning – can hit the competitiveness of a company and limit consumers’ choice.
Speaking to ET, Qualcomm president Christiano Amon backed a case-by-case approach to deal with data privacy and security issues. “Certain things can be centralised, certain things can be localised, but you can’t really have a rule that mandates this,” Amon said. “You have to look at it case by case. Because technology moves faster than regulation, I think it is important to take a very pragmatic view.”
