What is the DPDP Act 2023?

The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023 establishes a modern legal charter governing the lawful collection, processing, storage, and transfer of digital personal data in India.

It introduces stringent obligations for digital fiduciaries, creates an interoperable consent mechanism, enforces strict protection for children's data, and empowers individuals with actionable Data Principal Rights.

Data Principal

The individual to whom the personal digital data relates, entitled to full control and transparency.

Data Fiduciary

The entity that determines the purpose and means of personal data processing under statutory accountability.

Consent Manager

Interoperable platforms registered with DPBI allowing users to give, review, or withdraw consent seamlessly.

Data Protection Board

The DPBI adjudicatory body empowered to investigate breaches, impose fines, and resolve user escalations.

Data Principal Statutory Rights

The DPDP Act places user consent and control at the center. Your infrastructure must support these 4 fundamental rights.

Right to Access Information

Data Principals have the right to request a summary of personal data processed, identities of all third-party fiduciaries shared with, and details of processing activities.

Right to Correction & Erasure

Users may request the correction of inaccurate data, completion of incomplete records, updating of details, or total erasure of data no longer necessary for original purpose.

Right of Grievance Redressal

Data Fiduciaries must provide an easily accessible grievance redressal mechanism. Users must have a clear channel before escalating complaints to the DPBI.

Right to Nominate

Data Principals have the right to nominate any other individual who shall exercise their data rights in the event of their death or incapacity.
