• NADRA rolled out the service today (Thursday)

ISLAMABAD: The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) on Thursday rolled out a cutting-edge data protection service ‘Ijazat Aap Ki’.

In a significant turn, the database authority introduced the service that put citizens in charge of their personal data.

The service will enable citizens to give their consent before verification of the CNIC, ensuring that their sensitive data is protected and secure at all times.

NADRA Chairman Tariq Malik, while launching the service, said that consent management was a digital mechanism in line with his vision to protect citizens’ privacy and strengthen data security.

“Your data is your personal property, and just like your physical property, citizens are from now onwards empowered to control access and protect against misuse or unwarranted use,” he said.

He further said that there is a need for citizens to remain vigilant in protecting their personal information and also urged them to take all necessary precautions to prevent identity theft and fraud.
