Frequently asked questions
Does DPDPA require Indian data residency?↓
For sensitive categories (children's data, biometric, health), yes. For general consumer data, cross-border transfer is permitted to notified countries.
Do I need a DPO?↓
Mandatory for entities classified as Significant Data Fiduciaries (large user bases, sensitive data processing). Most D2C brands at scale will meet the threshold.
What's the breach notification window?↓
72 hours to the Data Protection Board, plus notification to affected data principals 'without undue delay'.
