I don't know whats wrong in collecting data ?

Collecting data will lead to transparency of TRP, etc.

Already it's used in developed nations.

Went through both. Nowhere does it say that Tata Sky collects tv viewing data. They only collect user data which is our phone name, number, email, address etc.

It's exploiting someone's privacy.

Why should we care about transparent TRP?

Developed countries has adult channels. TV is for private viewing. Why don't Tata Sky provide adult channels then? I don't think it's illegal as we are privately viewing. Also Tata Sky only sells to someone 18 and above.

That's allowed and customer's knowingly gives consent as we can't buy a connection without a phone number. Meanwhile I couldn't find anywhere Tata Sky has particularly asked us that they can collect my viewing data.

Yes, that's why 89 Chinese apps got banned recently.

TRAI, the regulatory body says that the need for a credible, transparent and representative television audience measurement system is recognized world over for growth of TV industry. You will continue to see shutdown of channels like FYI TV18, AXN, etc. without such system.

Dish TV started deploying return path data (RPD) technology from 2018 itself. They share viewing patterns to marketing agencies and also to large corporate houses. As of now Tata Sky has not said that they will deploy RPD.

Before Dish TV, BARC themselves had partnered with cable operators like DEN to increase their sample size and share more accurate data to advertisers.

TRAI has given operators green flag to bypass user's consent?

TRAI has given operator's green flag to bypass user's consent?

Just like @Anish Pai bro said above I think they take consent at time of activating connection and TRAI doesn't loves privacy, they were planning to put tracking chips in STBs which was not implemented because of concerns raised by many operators like Tata Sky and ADTV.

The stb is the property of the dpo. The service provided also is by dpo. So what consent are you speaking about
