Sound familiar?

"We collect customer data on our website, app and WhatsApp, and we've no idea if we're DPDP-ready."

  • Our privacy policy was copied from another site years ago.
  • Leads come in from forms, ads and WhatsApp, and nobody asked for clear consent.
  • We don't know where all our customer data lives or who can see it.
  • If someone asks us to delete their data, there's no process to do it.
  • An EU customer sent a data processing agreement, and we don't know what to sign.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

When does the DPDP Act actually apply?+

The DPDP Rules were notified on 13–14 November 2025. Most duties, including notice and consent, security safeguards, breach intimation and data principal rights, apply from 13 May 2027 under the notified schedule. Building consent and breach processes takes months, so starting now is the safe choice.

What are the penalties under the DPDP Act?+

Up to ₹250 crore for failing to take reasonable security safeguards, and up to ₹200 crore for failing to notify a breach to the Data Protection Board and affected people. Breaches must be reported to the Data Protection Board without delay, with a detailed report within 72 hours. Good preparation is far cheaper than a penalty.

What decides the cost?+

The number of products and channels collecting data, how many vendors you share data with, whether you serve EU users and whether you want us to build the consent flows or just specify them.

Will you certify us as DPDP or GDPR compliant?+

No. There is no official DPDP certificate today, and GDPR has no single 'certified' badge for most businesses. We get you prepared and documented, so you can show customers and the Data Protection Board what you've done.

Are you a law firm?+

No. We are privacy and security practitioners who also build the website, app and WhatsApp flows. For legal opinions or complex contracts we work alongside your lawyers.

Will you sign an NDA, and will you see our customers' data?+

Yes, we sign an NDA first. Data mapping is about the types of data and where they flow, so we rarely need to see actual customer records.

What happens after the project?+

You get a compliance pack: data map, notices, consent records, breach playbook and rights process. Many clients then take DPO-as-a-Service at ₹35k a month to handle requests and keep things current.

Let's scope your project.

One message is enough. You'll speak directly with the engineer who builds your system — and get a fixed quote, not a sales pitch.
