DPDP Act 2023 compliance guide for Indian enterprises
To comply with India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023, an enterprise must collect valid, purpose-specific consent, honour data principals' rights to access, correct and erase their data, keep evidence of every consent, and be ready to answer the Data Protection Board. ConsentEZ handles consent and rights requests; AuditEZ runs the compliance assessment.
Who the DPDP Act applies to
The Act applies to organisations that process digital personal data in India, and to processing outside India when it relates to offering goods or services to people in India. The organisation that decides why and how data is processed is the data fiduciary; the person the data is about is the data principal.
The core obligations
- Clear, purpose-specific notice before consent is collected
- Consent that can be withdrawn as easily as it was given
- Access, correction and erasure requests handled within set timelines
- Grievance handling for data principals
- Reasonable security safeguards and breach readiness
- Records that show the Data Protection Board what was done and when
