In continuation of the article yesterday where we indicated that FDPPI would introduce a Certification system for Websites on Privacy compliance as per DPDPA 2023, a similar concept to be extended to Mobile Apps is under development.
This Assurance would be titled “App DTS” and would result in a visual mark that can be appended to the Apps in the home page.
The pilot assessments on both the Web site and Apps will be available through Ujvala Consultants Pvt Ltd from 27th January 2024 which is the International Privacy Day .
The first 10 assessments based on requests would be complementary.
The assessment would be restricted to the norms selected by Ujvala Consultants Pvt Ltd which is a patron member of FDPPI. The assessment would be based on the publicly viewable website and the privacy policy. The Cookie policy which is important for the certification would be assessed with reference to a tool. The Gap assessment would be shared with the website and on bridging of the gap, the final certification would be released.
In view of the obvious conflict, we will not apply this to the website of FDPPI.IN and Naavi.org at present.
We shall however try to modify the Privacy policy documents on both these sites to suit the expectations of DPDPA 2023.
