Why DPDP, Why Now

DPDP Is Not Just a Policy Exercise. It Changes How Your Business Handles Personal Data.

DPDP ties privacy obligations to everyday operations — how you collect data, use it, share it, retain it, and respond when something goes wrong.

The question is no longer “Do we have a privacy policy?” It's “Can we demonstrate how privacy works?”

What you collect, where it lives, who can access it, which vendors receive it.

Know Your Purpose

Every processing activity tied to a lawful, proportionate purpose.

Make Consent Defensible

Clear notices, purpose-specific consent, auditable records, easy withdrawal.

Operationalise Data Principal Rights

Repeatable workflows for access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal and nomination.

Control Retention & Deletion

Retention rules, automated deletion, processors held to the same standard.

Prepare for Breaches

Detection to containment, notification and remediation — mapped in advance.

Manage Vendors

Privacy obligations built into contracts, due diligence and periodic review.

Govern High-Risk Processing

DPIAs and stronger governance for high-risk processing and SDF obligations.

    FAQ

    Questions we hear most about DPDP.

    The legal, organisational and technical controls required to process personal data under the DPDP Act, 2023 and its Rules.
    If you determine the purpose and means of processing personal data, you may have obligations as a Data Fiduciary. The first step is confirming applicability and which activities create obligations.

    It is a structured review of current practices against applicable DPDP requirements, identifying gaps, risks, missing evidence and prioritised remediation actions.
    A Data Fiduciary is a person who, alone or together with others, determines the purpose and means of processing personal data.
    Access to your data, correction and erasure, grievance redressal, consent withdrawal, and nomination.
