FAQ :
Over Rs 3000 Crores have been lost to 'Digital Arrest' scams, as observed by the Supreme Court in November 2025.
While elderly citizens are frequent victims, the younger generation is increasingly becoming a target as well.

Individuals have the right to access their personal data, know who it's shared with, withdraw consent, and raise grievances regarding data misuse.
Individuals should ask about the purpose of data collection, how it will be stored and protected, and who else will have access to it.
