Digi Yatra Foundation clarifies control over application amid controversy with former vendor, ensuring data security for passengers.
Digi Yatra Foundation on April 17 said the Digi Yatra application has always been under its full control amid controversy concerning a former vendor that had offered billing account and management services for the application.
According to reports, there are concerns about data shared by passengers on Digi Yatra and that former vendor Dataevolve Solutions had come under investigation.
When asked whether Dataevolve is still associated with Digi Yatra, the foundation replied in the negative.
"There is no association of Digi Yatra with Dataevolve." According to the foundation, Digi Yatra started on the CIC infrastructure of Niti Ayog and later migrated to Dataevolve, which was managing as a managed service provider on behalf of the foundation.
"Only the billing account and management was by Dataevolve," it said on April 17.
Last week, the foundation's CEO Suresh Khadakbhavi said that Digi Yatra does not have any passengers' data.
"It is only in the phone (of the user) that the data is residing and it is in the control of the passenger himself or herself," he had told PTI in an interview.
