DPDPA Compliance Platform for Indian Enterprises
About Privy by IDfy
Privy by IDfy helps Indian enterprises operationalise DPDPA compliance across consent, data principal rights, breach response, data discovery, privacy impact assessments, third-party risk, and audit evidence. Built for the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, Privy gives compliance, legal, security, product, and technology teams one platform to manage privacy obligations at enterprise scale.
DPDPA compliance is not just about publishing a privacy notice or collecting consent. Organisations now need to know what personal data they process, why they process it, how consent is collected and withdrawn, how data principal rights are fulfilled, how processors and vendors are governed, and how compliance evidence is produced when required. Privy brings these workflows together so teams can move from policy to execution.
Trusted by Indian enterprises
Privy by IDfy supports privacy and compliance teams across BFSI, fintech, insurance, e-commerce, telecom, retail, and other high-data-volume sectors.
What does DPDPA Compliance Require?
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, governs digital personal data processed in India and certain processing outside India linked to offering goods or services in India. It establishes requirements for lawful processing, consent, data fiduciary obligations, data principal rights, breach response, cross-border transfers, grievance redressal, and penalties.
In simple terms, DPDPA requires organisations to prove three things:
They process personal data for a lawful and defined purpose.
They give individuals control through notice, consent, withdrawal, rights, and grievance mechanisms.
They maintain security, governance, vendor controls, audit trails, and evidence.
That is why DPDPA compliance cannot be managed through spreadsheets alone. It needs operational workflows, ownership, controls, alerts, and proof.
Every DPDP Requirement. One Platform.
DPDPA compliance is not a one-time legal exercise. Enterprises need to identify what personal data they process, issue clear notices, collect and manage consent, honour data principal rights, secure personal data, govern processors, handle breach response, and maintain evidence for audit and regulatory review.
The table below maps key obligations under the DPDP Act, 2023, and the DPDP Rules, 2025, to Privy’s platform capabilities.

DPDPA Compliance FAQs
DPDPA compliance means aligning an organisation's personal data processing with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023. This includes lawful processing, notice, consent, data principal rights, security safeguards, breach response, retention, vendor governance, and compliance evidence.
Any organisation processing digital personal data in India may fall within scope. The Act may also apply to processing outside India if it relates to offering goods or services to data principals in India.
No. Consent is important, but DPDPA compliance also requires notice, withdrawal, rights management, security safeguards, breach response, retention controls, vendor governance, and evidence.
Consent must be free, specific, informed, unconditional, unambiguous, and given through clear affirmative action. It must be linked to a specified purpose and limited to necessary personal data.
Yes. Where consent is the basis of processing, the data principal has the right to withdraw consent. The ease of withdrawal should be comparable to the ease with which consent was given.
