Core Principles of DPDP (Grid-Based Content Layout)

The DPDP Act focuses on lawful, transparent use of personal data with clear user consent. It ensures data is collected only for specific purposes and handled responsibly.

The individual to whom the personal data relates. They have rights to access, correct, and erase their data. In the case of children or persons with disabilities, this includes their lawful guardians.

Any person or entity (individual, company, or state) that determines the "purpose and means" of processing personal data. They hold primary responsibility for compliance.

Any entity that processes personal data on behalf of a Data Fiduciary

A registered entity acting as a single point of contact for the Data Principal to manage, review, and withdraw consent through an interoperable platform.

Data Fiduciaries notified by the government based on data volume, sensitivity, or risk. They face stricter obligations, such as appointing a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and conducting audits.

The regulatory body responsible for monitoring compliance, investigating breaches, and imposing penalties for violations of the Act.
