India’s DPDP Act: Mandatory Website Privacy Policy & Cookie Compliance
India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act mandates clear guidelines on how businesses collect, store, and process personal consumer information.
1. Clear, Unambiguous Consent Notices
Websites must present clear, plain-language notices explaining what personal data is collected (e.g. contact form names, phone numbers, analytics cookies) and for what explicit purpose.
2. Data Fiduciary Responsibilities
Organizations must provide a direct mechanism for users to request data deletion or withdraw consent, alongside identifying a designated Grievance Officer in the public Privacy Policy.
