Custody and control
Data Sovereignty and Constitutional Personhood
In this framework, data sovereignty means more than server location. It means accountable custody of citizen records, lawful transfer, traceable access, correction rights, recovery questions and remedy when compromised data produces harm.
What the archive can show
The MeitY and digital-harm records raise questions about stolen or foreign-held data. The present material supports a public-interest question: which authority is responsible for identifying, recovering, restoring or lawfully destroying compromised citizen data where law permits?
Evidence required
- source of the compromised record;
- custodian and transfer path;
- access and modification history;
- reporting and response record;
- remedy or absence of remedy.
Limits
This page does not assert that every exposed record can be recovered. It states the accountability question and source-record standard for future case files.
