Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP)
What is DPDP?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), is India’s comprehensive legislation governing the processing of digital personal data. The Act establishes obligations for organizations that collect, store, or process personal data and defines rights for individuals, referred to as Data Principals, to protect their privacy and personal information.
DPDP applies to organizations operating in India or processing digital personal data of individuals within India. It sets requirements related to lawful processing, consent management, purpose limitation, data minimization, retention controls, security safeguards, and accountability, aligning India’s data protection framework with global best practices.
