Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries regarding our Regulatory Compliance & Corporate Governance consulting services:
What are the main requirements of India's DPDP Act, 2023 for digital businesses?
The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act requires businesses (Data Fiduciaries) to provide clear itemized notice and obtain verifiable consent before processing personal data, appoint a Data Protection Officer or grievance officer, implement security safeguards to prevent breaches, and establish mechanisms for users to access, correct, or erase their data.
