DPDPA
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA)
- The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is a comprehensive law that regulates the collection, processing, and use of personal data in India. The PDPB was passed as a bill in August 2023 in India.
- The bill applies to both domestic and foreign companies that process the personal data of Indian citizens. For IT companies involved in cross-border transactions, the DPDPA will have a significant impact on how they collect, use, and share personal data.
- The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is a landmark piece of legislation that seeks to protect the privacy of individuals in India. The Bill establishes a comprehensive framework for the collection, use, and processing of personal data by organizations. It also creates a new Data Protection Authority (DPA) to oversee compliance with the Bill.
- The DPDPA applies to all organizations that collect, process, or use personal data of individuals in India, regardless of their size or location. This includes organizations that handle personal data.
The Personal Data Protection Bill has the following key provisions:
- It defines personal data as any information that can be used to identify an individual, directly or indirectly.
- It gives individuals the right to access, correct, and delete their data.
- It requires companies to obtain consent from individuals before collecting their data.
- It restricts the transfer of personal data outside India to countries that have adequate data protection laws.
