DPDP Act Lawyer & Compliance Advisory India

What is the DPDP Act?

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is India's primary data protection legislation. It governs how organisations collect, process, store, and share the personal data of Indian citizens.

The Act establishes rights for data principals (individuals) and obligations for data fiduciaries (organisations that process personal data). Non-compliance can result in penalties of up to ₹250 crore per violation.

Clawrity's lawyers help businesses across sectors — technology, healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and education — navigate DPDP Act compliance from the ground up.
