FAQ's

What is India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act?

The DPDP Act is India's comprehensive data protection law governing the processing, storage, and transfer of digital personal data of Indian residents. It requires organizations to implement data privacy measures, obtain consent, ensure data security, and provide individuals with rights over their data.

Who needs to comply with the DPDP Act?

The DPDP Act applies to any organization (Data Fiduciary), whether based in India or internationally, that processes the personal data of individuals residing in India. While all entities processing personal data are subject to the Act, the government may exempt certain small businesses based on specific criteria.

What rights do individuals (Data Principals) have under the DPDP Act?

Under the DPDP Act, individuals have several key rights, including the right to access, correct, and update their personal data, the right to request the erasure of their data, the right to grievance redressal, and the right to withdraw their consent for data processing. They can also nominate someone to exercise these rights on their behalf.

What are the key obligations for organizations (Data Fiduciaries) under the DPDP Act?

Organizations must obtain informed consent before processing personal data (providing notices in multiple Indian languages), implement robust security measures to prevent data breaches, ensure lawful cross-border data transfers (to notified countries), and provide mechanisms for individuals to exercise their rights. Significant Data Fiduciaries (SDFs) have additional obligations like appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) in India and conducting regular data audits and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).

How does the DPDP Act address data breaches and what are the penalties for non-compliance?

Organizations must report all types of personal data breaches to the Data Protection Board of India and affected individuals within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach and implement measures to mitigate harm. Non-compliance with the DPDP Act can result in significant financial penalties, potentially reaching up to INR 250 crore depending on the severity of the violation.

What is the role of Consent Managers and Data Protection Officers (DPOs) under the DPDP Act?

A Consent Manager is a registered entity that allows individuals to manage their consent for data processing across multiple organizations. Significant Data Fiduciaries are required to appoint a Data Protection Officer (DPO) based in India to ensure compliance with the Act, handle grievances, and act as a point of contact for the Data Protection Board.

How can businesses prepare for compliance with the DPDP Act?

Businesses should begin preparing for the DPDP Act by assessing their current data processing practices, identifying compliance gaps, updating privacy policies and procedures, implementing consent management systems, establishing data breach response plans, training employees on data privacy, and potentially conducting a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA). Organizations like SISA offer support with DPDP compliance through assessments, data governance services, and consulting.
