How It Works

  1. 1

    DPDP Gap Assessment

    TruePrivacy runs a structured assessment of your current data practices against all DPDP Act 2023 obligations, producing a gap report with a compliance score and prioritized remediation roadmap.

  2. 2

    Consent Notice Framework

    Implement DPDP-compliant consent notices that meet the Act's specific requirements for clarity, granularity, and the right to withdraw — distinct from GDPR consent standards.

  3. 3

    Data Principal Rights Portal

    Deploy a rights management portal that handles access, correction, erasure, and nomination requests from data principals, with the response timelines required by the DPDP Act.

  4. 4

    SDF Assessment and Documentation

    If you may qualify as a Significant Data Fiduciary, TruePrivacy conducts the readiness assessment and generates the additional documentation obligations required for SDF classification.

Benefits

Purpose-Built for DPDP

Unlike adapted GDPR tools, TruePrivacy's DPDP module is built specifically for the DPDP Act 2023, reflecting its unique requirements around consent, rights, and cross-border transfers.

Ahead of Enforcement

Build compliance infrastructure before enforcement begins rather than scrambling when the regulator starts acting. Early compliance reduces financial and reputational risk.

SDF Readiness

Understand whether you are likely to be classified as a Significant Data Fiduciary and prepare for the additional obligations — DPO appointment, DPIA requirements, and data audits.

Cross-Border Transfer Controls

India's cross-border transfer framework differs from GDPR. TruePrivacy implements the DPDP Act's transfer requirements as they are finalized in subordinate legislation.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 is India's comprehensive personal data protection law. It governs the processing of digital personal data, establishes rights for data principals, creates obligations for data fiduciaries, and establishes a Data Protection Board of India for enforcement.

The DPDP Act received Presidential assent in August 2023. Its operative provisions will come into force on a date to be notified by the government, with key subordinate legislation (rules) expected to follow. Organizations should begin readiness work now to avoid last-minute compliance pressure.

A Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) is a data fiduciary designated by the Central Government based on factors including volume of data processed, sensitivity, risk to rights, national security implications, and impact on sovereignty. SDFs face additional obligations including mandatory DPO appointment, periodic audits, and DPIAs.

DPDP consent must be free, specific, informed, and unambiguous, similar to GDPR. However, the DPDP Act has specific requirements around the format of consent notices (to be prescribed in rules) and allows deemed consent in certain legitimate use cases that differ from GDPR's legitimate interests framework.

Yes. The DPDP Act applies to processing of personal data of individuals in India, regardless of whether the data fiduciary is based in India. Foreign companies offering goods or services to individuals in India must comply.
