Frequently Asked Questions

The DPDPA 2023 is India's comprehensive data protection law that regulates how personal data is collected, stored, processed, and shared by businesses operating in India. It was passed by the Indian Parliament in August 2023 and establishes rights for Data Principals (individuals) and obligations for Data Fiduciaries (businesses).

Every business, website, app, or organization that collects or processes personal data of individuals in India must comply. This includes Indian companies, foreign companies offering goods or services in India, and any entity processing personal data of Indian residents. Even a simple blog with a contact form or analytics is covered.

Our generator creates privacy policies aligned with the key provisions of the DPDPA 2023. The generated policy covers all major sections including consent (Section 6), Data Principal rights (Sections 11–14), Data Fiduciary obligations (Section 8), children's data protection (Section 9), cross-border transfers (Section 16), and breach notification (Section 8(6)). We recommend having the generated policy reviewed by a qualified legal professional to ensure it meets your specific business needs — this tool is not a substitute for legal advice.

The DPDPA prescribes penalties up to ₹250 crore for failure to implement reasonable security safeguards, ₹200 crore for failure to notify a data breach, ₹200 crore for violations involving children's data, and ₹50 crore for other non-compliance such as missing notice or grievance redressal. See the full penalty schedule for a breakdown by business type.

The DPDPA does not explicitly mandate Hindi, but Section 5(3) requires the consent notice to be available in any of the 22 languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution if the Data Principal so chooses — and offering Hindi alongside English is the most common way Indian businesses satisfy this in practice, while also demonstrating good-faith compliance to a broader user base. Hindi policy output is available on the Pro plan; the interactive generator form itself is also available in Hindi at /hi/generator.

Global generators focus on GDPR (EU) and CCPA (California) concepts. They do not properly address DPDPA-specific terms like Data Principal, Data Fiduciary, Consent Manager, the Data Protection Board of India, or section-level DPDPA references. This tool is purpose-built for Indian law — see the detailed comparison with Termly.

Yes. We do not store the business details, personal data categories, or generated policies you submit through the generator — the policy is generated per request and returned to you. If you optionally provide your email to receive a copy or compliance updates, that email address is the only thing we retain, and only for that purpose.
