Overview

What this service delivers

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 sets new duties for how businesses in India handle personal data, and many product teams have not yet mapped where theirs is stored. We trace it across your database, analytics tools, support inbox, marketing platform and the spreadsheets sitting on staff laptops. We then assess consent, retention and vendor agreements against the Act. This is an engineering-led assessment rather than legal advice, and we clearly mark the points where you should consult a lawyer.
