Description
India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act and supporting rules introduce important new responsibilities for organisations handling digital personal data connected to India. This webinar will help UK exporters understand how India’s DPDP framework compares with GDPR, where the requirements overlap, and where they differ in ways that could affect compliance planning. The session will explore key concepts such as data fiduciaries, data principals, consent, privacy notices, breach reporting, children’s data, cross-border considerations and phased implementation timelines.
Attendees will gain practical insight into what the new regime may mean for businesses collecting, processing or storing personal data as part of sales, service delivery, partnerships or operations in India. This webinar will particularly benefit UK SMEs, exporters, digital service providers, ecommerce businesses, compliance leads, data protection officers, legal teams and senior decision-makers who need to assess whether DPDP applies to them and how to prepare for future obligations.
