limitations allows us to enhance privacy standards for our users and given the fact that these
private data of our consumers and prospected clients is organised and is protected by highly
functional and secured server, the same which secures and keep the data of thousands of our
customers safe and secured, we can surely contend that Right to privacy of citizens will not be
breached or tampered with the usage of this software in any given scenario.

1.1. Privacy’s informational definition

In the case of K.S. Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Anr. (Aadhar) v. Union of India (2019) 1 SCC
1, the definition of Informational Privacy is given where it is declared by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court that: “informational privacy is concerned, it does not deal with a
person's body but deals with a person's mind. In this manner, it protects a person by
giving her control over the dissemination of material that is personal to her and
disallowing unauthorised use of such information by the State.”

2. FURTHER CONTENTIONS

Section 43 of the IT ACT, 2000 defines reasonable security practice and procedures as the
absence of a contract between the parties or any special law for this purpose, such security
practices and procedures as appropriate to the nature of the information to protect that
information from unauthorized access, damage, use, modification, disclosure or impairment, as
may be prescribed by the Central Government in consultation with the self-regulatory bodies of
the industry, if any. Hence, to comply with the same norm, Vamazon has additionally worked to
ensure reasonable security of our users. Further, Section 43 of the same act also defines sensitive
information stating that Sensitive personal data or information means such personal
information, which is prescribed as sensitive by the Central Government in consultation with the
self-regulatory bodies of the industry, if any. Vamazon is fully aware of such legislative norms
and develops and has developed its UI (User Interface) in the same purview as well.
