Privacy, consent, data — what Delhi govt ignores when giving parents live classroom footage -Trishee Goyal

-ThePrint.in

Arvind Kejriwal's Delhi govt needs to conduct a privacy assessment and find out what value does live streaming of classrooms add to children’s security.

The Delhi government’s decision to give parents access to live video footage of classrooms is worrisome. Although use of CCTV and biometric based technologies is increasing across schools in various states, the decision to livestream classroom proceedings takes the use of these technologies a step further. In 2019, when the project was first announced, the Delhi Parents’ Association filed a writ petition with the Delhi High Court challenging the same. The government claims that live streaming of classrooms will be for the safety of students and bring transparency in the teaching system. It, however, hasn’t addressed many issues that come with it.

Children’s right to privacy 

Just as adults, children also have a right to privacy. The Supreme Court in Puttaswamy observed that “privacy is a natural right, which inheres in every human being by birth”. It’s not that a child gains the right to privacy on reaching a particular age; this right evolves with the child’s age. For example, a sixteen-year-old’s expectation of privacy will be significantly different from a five-year-old’s. And this expectation of the right to privacy arises not only against third parties, but parents as well.
