The DPDP Act in India strikes a balance between individuals’ rights to safeguard their personal data and the need to process this data for legitimate purposes. It sets out requirements for Data Fiduciaries—those who handle the data—and specifies the rights and responsibilities of Data Principals, the individuals who own the data. Additionally, the Act establishes financial penalties for violations.
As of this writing, the act is expected to come into force in 2024 through a government notification, and organizations need to prepare for compliance now.
