This compendium provides an in-depth analysis of the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, a landmark framework shaping privacy and data governance in India. The DPDP Act outlines obligations for data fiduciaries, safeguards individual rights, facilitates cross-border data transfers, and establishes mechanisms for grievance redressal and penalties.

Authored by experts from leading organisations such as Observer Research Foundation (ORF), The Dialogue, Jindal Global Law School, Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), and more, the compendium offers actionable strategies and sectoral insights tailored to India’s data landscape.

Key domains explored include:
Financial services: Addressing fintech innovations, fraud detection, and credit lending.
– Healthcare: Examining compliance in precision medicine, predictive diagnostics, and digital health.
– Education: Highlighting challenges faced by edtech platforms, including age-verification mandates.
– Cloud services: Analysing the implications for data processors, security, and infrastructural reliability.
– Biometric data: Addressing privacy concerns and protections for sensitive personal information.
– Emerging technologies: Focusing on AI-driven innovations and the role of anonymisation.

The compendium also introduces a six-stage data lifecycle frameworkβ€”spanning collection, retention, structuring, transfer, processing, and expunctionβ€”offering a structured roadmap for compliance across industries.

By consolidating academic and industry perspectives, this volume serves as an essential resource for policymakers, businesses, and civil society organisations navigating the operationalisation of the DPDP Act, 2023, and India’s broader data governance ecosystem.
