You handle digital personal data of individuals in India, no matter where the processing physically takes place.
You collect data online or offline and convert it into digital form at any stage.
Non-compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) can lead to heavy penalties, including fines up to INR 250 crore for inadequate security safeguards, INR 200 crore for failing to report breaches, and INR 150 crore for Significant Data Fiduciaries.
