Abstract - Internet Communication Technologies (ICTs) are shaping our lives in diverse and dynamic ways. The information exchanged through these technologies is of multiple proportions. Data is processed, retained, managed through ICTs. Hence ICTs are the medium that have created a data driven virtual world which affects lives from microscopic to macroscopic level. Also, Internet of things (IoTs) relies on ICTs for functioning effectively, synergizing these with adoption of Artificial Intelligence can lead to surprising productive results. This potent trio (IoTs, ICTs and A.I.) of the Virtual world flourish on information in the form of Data. Fundamentally these technologies are data-driven technologies therefore it becomes essential to regulate the data and its retention, processing, and management. Globally efforts are being done to strengthen the data regulation regime and mechanism to answer various challenges posed by these very Trio of Virtual worlds. The Paper will comprehensively examine the data regulations mechanism of Europe and India. Since GDPR and EU AI Act 2023 are the path breaking legal manifestoes for the globe to regulate data generated and used by ICTs and AI.
