– DPDPA is applicable to your organization if:
o You interact with individuals who reside in India for your products & services
o You don’t necessarily ‘sell’ to residents in India but target and profile them online for your business
o You have employees based in India.
– DPDPA is also applicable to your organization if:
o Yours is a B2B business where your clients are organizations who operate in India, and they share the personal data of Indian residents with you.

– Your policy needs to be translated into reality.
o For e.g., when you state in your policy that you use the Personal Data you collect only for a list of, say, 5 purposes, then you need to ensure that you put the right processes and controls in place to ensure that actually happens in reality. Further, you need to monitor these to ensure they actually work.
– Similarly, you may have a documented process for catering to an incoming Rights request from a Data Principals. This has to be operationalized so that when someone actually exercises their rights with you, you are geared up for it.
o For e.g., someone may ask you to erase her data with you. For this, you need to know all the places where her data is located – within your organization as well as with any vendors or partners. You need to have a mechanism to authenticate the request – to ensure it is not a fraudulent request. You need to have people in your organization trained to track and respond to such requests. And several such other steps.
