The full answer
The DPDP Act, 2023, and its rules govern how digital personal data is processed in India. It centres on consent given through clear notices, purpose limitation, the rights of individuals to access, correct and erase their data, and security safeguards to prevent breaches.
In product terms, that means consent screens written in plain language, easy ways to withdraw consent, account and data deletion, and retention rules that remove data once its purpose is complete. Where users may be children, verifiable parental consent and restrictions on tracking need to be designed in.
Security safeguards include encryption, role-based access control and audit logs, which also help you investigate and report incidents quickly if a breach occurs.
Hosting can be placed in Indian cloud regions where you prefer data to stay in the country. Your legal adviser confirms your obligations, including any sector rules, and we implement the technical measures to support them.
Products built in India often also serve users abroad, in which case GDPR or other laws may apply alongside the DPDP Act. We design consent and data handling so they can support more than one regime without maintaining separate products for each market.
