On January 3, 2025, India introduced the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules 2025, setting a new standard for data privacy. Designed to safeguard the personal data of 1.4+ billion citizens while fostering a thriving digital economy, these regulations demand immediate attention from businesses handling sensitive information.
Key DPDP Rules & Their Impact
Complying with DPDP isn’t just about avoiding penalties but building trust and ensuring long-term business success. Here are the major highlights:
Security-First Approach (Rule 6) – Businesses must implement strong security measures like encryption, obfuscation, masking, tokenization, and access controls to protect user data.
Data Breach Accountability (Rule 7) – Companies must report breaches within 72 hours to both affected individuals and the Data Protection Board.
User-Centric Rights (Rule 13) – Individuals, termed "Data Principals," have the right to access, correct, and erase their data on demand.
Data Residency Requirements (Rule 14) – Data transfer outside India is restricted, ensuring local data sovereignty.
Consent Enforcement (Rule 4) – Businesses must obtain verifiable and informed user consent before collecting or processing personal data.
Child Data Protection (Rules 10 & 11) – Companies must secure verifiable parental consent before processing data of individuals under 18.
Heavy Penalties – Non-compliance can result in fines of up to ₹250 crore ($30 million / €28 million), making strong compliance strategies a necessity.
