In an increasingly digital and data-driven world, compliance with data protection laws is no longer optional. Businesses across industries are required to lawfully collect, process, store, and protect personal data. Failure to comply can result in heavy penalties, operational disruption, and reputational damage.
Our Data Compliance services are designed to help organizations navigate global and Indian data protection laws with clarity, confidence, and compliance.
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is India’s primary legislation governing how digital personal data of individuals (data principals) is collected, used, stored, and shared by entities known as data fiduciaries and data processors. It applies to personal data processed in digital form, as well as data originally collected in non-digital form and subsequently digitised, when such processing is carried out in India or relates to offering goods or services to individuals within India. The Act is built around the principle of consent, requiring data fiduciaries to obtain free, specific, informed, unconditional, and unambiguous consent, usually through clear and accessible notices, before processing personal data, except where certain legitimate uses or legal grounds apply. It emphasises purpose limitation by allowing processing only for lawful purposes that are clearly specified to the data principal and restricting further use that is incompatible with those purposes.
The DPDP Act also stresses data minimisation and storage limitation, encouraging collection of only such personal data as is necessary for the stated purpose and mandating that it should not be retained longer than required to fulfil that purpose or comply with legal obligations. It introduces obligations on data fiduciaries to implement reasonable technical and organisational security safeguards to prevent personal data breaches, and imposes duties such as prompt breach notification to the Data Protection Board and, where prescribed, to affected data principals.
