Aadhaar and Personal Data: A Survey on Privacy Concerns and Security Awareness

Abstract :

In recent years, Aadhaar has become one of the largest biometric identification systems
globally, encompassing over a billion residents of India. While it has facilitated access to
various government and private services, concerns about data privacy and security have
persisted. This paper provides an overview of the Aadhaar system, explores the associated
privacy issues and surveys the level of security awareness among users. Also, it discusses the
regulatory framework designed to protect personal data and analyzes whether it is sufficient to
mitigate emerging threats. Additionally, it analyzes the mechanisms for data protection,
identifies vulnerabilities, explores public sentiment and legal challenges and provides
recommendations for enhancing security and safeguarding user privacy.
