&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BENGALURU: &lt;/em&gt;Contrary to the Centre&#039;s claims, contracts signed with foreign firms by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), custodian of Aadhaar data, show that they got &amp;quot;full access&amp;quot; to classified data including fingerprints, iris scan info, and personal information like date of birth, address and mobile number of the applicants. They were also allowed to store the data for seven years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was revealed through an RTI application filed by Bengaluru-based Col Matthew Thomas, one of the petitioners in the right to privacy case currently being heard in Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RTI reply showed that the nature of the contracts contradicted UIDAI&#039;s statements that no private entity had access to unencrypted Aadhaar data. The contract with one of the biometric service providers (BSPs), L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Co Pvt Ltd, headquartered in US, says that the company was given Aadhaar data access &amp;quot;as part of its job&amp;quot;. (L-1 has been taken over by French transnational Safran Group) Morpho and Accenture Services Pvt Ltd are two other firms that were given identical contracts with twoyear (2010 to 2012) Aadhaar data access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clause 15.1 of the contract, titled &#039;Data and Hardware&#039;, says that the firm, by virtue of the contract &amp;quot;may have access to personal data of the purchaser (UID), and/or a third party or any resident of India...&amp;quot; Further, Clause 3, which deals with privacy, says that the BSP could &amp;quot;collect, use, transfer, store and process the data&amp;quot;. It also says that the BSP shall process all personal data in accordance with applicable law and regulation and should not disclose such information. The contract, however, does not define &#039;personal data&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

They were also allowed to store the data for seven years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was revealed through an RTI application filed by Bengaluru-based Col Matthew Thomas, one of the petitioners in the right to privacy case currently being heard in Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The RTI reply showed that the nature of the contracts contradicted UIDAI&#039;s statements that no private entity had access to unencrypted Aadhaar data. The contract with one of the biometric service providers (BSPs), L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Co Pvt Ltd, headquartered in US, says that the company was given Aadhaar data access &amp;quot;as part of its job&amp;quot;. (L-1 has been taken over by French transnational Safran Group) Morpho and Accenture Services Pvt Ltd are two other firms that were given identical contracts with twoyear (2010 to 2012) Aadhaar data access.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clause 15.1 of the contract, titled &#039;Data and Hardware&#039;, says that the firm, by virtue of the contract &amp;quot;may have access to personal data of the purchaser (UID), and/or a third party or any resident of India...&amp;quot; Further, Clause 3, which deals with privacy, says that the BSP could &amp;quot;collect, use, transfer, store and process the data&amp;quot;. It also says that the BSP shall process all personal data in accordance with applicable law and regulation and should not disclose such information. The contract, however, does not define &#039;personal data&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rti-activist-says-aadhaar-contract-gave-foreign-firms-access-to-unencrypted-data/articleshow/60284162.cms&quot; title=&quot;http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/rti-activist-says-aadhaar-contract-gave-foreign-firms-access-to-unencrypted-data/articleshow/60284162.cms&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;BENGALURU: &lt;/em&gt;Contrary to the Centre&#039;s claims, contracts signed with foreign firms by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), custodian of Aadhaar data, show that they got &amp;quot;full access&amp;quot; to classified data including fingerprints, iris scan info, and personal information like date of birth, address and mobile number of the applicants. They were also allowed to store the data for seven years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This was revealed through an RTI application filed by Bengaluru-based Col Matthew Thomas, one of the petitioners in the right to privacy case currently being heard in Supreme Court.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The RTI reply showed that the nature of the contracts contradicted UIDAI&#039;s statements that no private entity had access to unencrypted Aadhaar data. The contract with one of the biometric service providers (BSPs), L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Co Pvt Ltd, headquartered in US, says that the company was given Aadhaar data access &amp;quot;as part of its job&amp;quot;. (L-1 has been taken over by French transnational Safran Group) Morpho and Accenture Services Pvt Ltd are two other firms that were given identical contracts with twoyear (2010 to 2012) Aadhaar data access.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clause 15.1 of the contract, titled &#039;Data and Hardware&#039;, says that the firm, by virtue of the contract &amp;quot;may have access to personal data of the purchaser (UID), and/or a third party or any resident of India...&amp;quot; Further, Clause 3, which deals with privacy, says that the BSP could &amp;quot;collect, use, transfer, store and process the data&amp;quot;. It also says that the BSP shall process all personal data in accordance with applicable law and regulation and should not disclose such information. The contract, however, does not define &#039;personal data&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

RTI activist says Aadhaar contract gave foreign firms access to unencrypted data -Chethan Kumar

-The Times of India BENGALURU: Contrary to the Centre's claims, contracts signed with foreign firms by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), custodian of Aadhaar data, show that they got "full access" to classified data including fingerprints, iris scan info, and personal information like date of birth, address and mobile number of the applicants. They were also allowed to store the data for seven years. This was revealed through an RTI application filed by Bengaluru-based Col Matthew Thomas, one of the petitioners in the right to privacy case currently being heard in Supreme Court. The RTI reply showed that the nature of the contracts contradicted UIDAI's statements that no private entity had access to unencrypted Aadhaar data. The contract with one of the biometric service providers (BSPs), L-1 Identity Solutions Operating Co Pvt Ltd, headquartered in US, says that the company was given Aadhaar data access "as part of its job". (L-1 has been taken over by French transnational Safran Group) Morpho and Accenture Services Pvt Ltd are two other firms that were given identical contracts with twoyear (2010 to 2012) Aadhaar data access. Clause 15.1 of the contract, titled 'Data and Hardware', says that the firm, by virtue of the contract "may have access to personal data of the purchaser (UID), and/or a third party or any resident of India..." Further, Clause 3, which deals with privacy, says that the BSP could "collect, use, transfer, store and process the data". It also says that the BSP shall process all personal data in accordance with applicable law and regulation and should not disclose such information.
