As we enter the dawn of 2025, we the data protection professionals in India shall adopt a New Year Resolution….to be DPDPA compliant within the environment in which we work.
As a starting point we request every Corporate professional who observes any breach of DPDPA principles within their organisations to send a request to their DPO to correct.
Such principles include
- Define a purpose for every personal data collection.
- Ensure only such information as is required for the purpose are collected.
- Ensure that there are no uninformed extensions of subscription to services
- Ensure that personal data is not retained beyond the purpose requirement.
- Ensure that valid consent is in place for every personal data collection and processing.
- Ensure that personal data disclosures are as per documented procedures.
- Ensure that every grievance from a data principal is promptly attended to.
- Ensure that Compliance to DPDPA is not neglected because the organisation is certified compliant already to GDPR or ISO 27001.
- Ensure that when in doubt about any aspect of DPDPA, contact FDPPI on email naavi@ fdppi.in or call naavi
Our motto…No Excuses..Just Be Compliant ..
