The parliament of India has passed the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (“DPDP Act” or “Act”) on 11th August 2023.
The goal of the DPDP Act is to outline guidelines for processing digital personal data in a way that acknowledges both individuals' rights to privacy protection and the requirement to process personal data for legal purposes.
It provides the rights of data principals (data subjects), the obligations of data fiduciaries (data handlers/controllers), and penalties for non-compliance and applies to the processing of digital personal data within India, whether collected online or if offline data is digitized.
DPDP Act has extraterritorial application if the processing is in connection with any profiling of, or activity of offering goods or services to data principals within India. The DPDP Act was published in the official Gazette on 12th August 2023 and became effective on the same date.

Rights of a Data Principal Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023
Right to Information and Access Personal Data
The data principal has the right to request information from the data fiduciary. This includes obtaining confirmation of whether the data fiduciary is or has processed the data principal's personal data, a summary of the personal data being or that has been processed, and the identities of all data fiduciaries with whom the personal data has been shared, along with the categories of personal data shared.
Right to Correction and Erasure of Personal Data
A data principal shall have the right to correction and erasure of their personal data. Upon receiving a request for such correction of the personal data from a data principal, a data fiduciary is required to correct any inaccuracies, complete any incomplete information and update a data principal's personal data in the systems accordingly. In addition, the data fiduciary must also erase the personal data that is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected and processed unless data retention is required by law.
Right of Grievance Redressal
A data principal has the right to lodge a complaint with a data fiduciary. If a data fiduciary's response to a grievance is unsatisfactory, or if no response is received within seven days or another shorter time frame that may be prescribed, the data principal may submit a complaint with the Data Protection Board in the way that may be required.
Right to Nominate
A data principal shall be entitled to designate any other person in the manner that may be prescribed who shall, in the case of the data principal's death or incapacity, exercise the data principal's rights in accordance with the requirements of this Act.
Key Facts Related to India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023
The Regulatory Authority under the DPDP Act is the Data Protection Board of India which is responsible for ensuring compliance and imposing penalties in case of any violation of the Act.
Transfer of data outside the territory of India is allowed, however, only after conducting an assessment of relevant factors and defining specifications of terms and conditions for transfers.
If a data fiduciary or data processor fails to take reasonable security safeguards to prevent a personal data breach, the penalty imposed would be 2,500,000,000 Indian Rupees.
The data fiduciary may only engage, appoint, use, or involve a data processor to process personal data on its behalf where the data principal's consent has been acquired, and only in accordance with a legal contract.
