DPDPA Privacy Policy Generator

Section 5 requires a Data Fiduciary to give a clear, itemised notice of every category of personal data it collects, in plain language, before or at the time of collection. Leaving a category unticked here means it will not appear in your generated notice — the "Data categories documented" compliance-checklist item stays incomplete until at least one is selected.

Section 4 permits processing only for a "lawful purpose" the Data Principal has consented to, and Section 6 requires that consent be specific to each stated purpose — a vague "to improve our services" is not enough. Picking at least one purpose here is what completes the "Purpose of data collection specified" checklist item and lets the generator write purpose-specific consent language instead of a generic catch-all.

Section 8 makes the Data Fiduciary (you) accountable for every processor it shares personal data with, including contractual flow-down of DPDPA obligations. Selecting your real processors here is what completes the "Third-party processors documented" checklist item and generates the disclosure clause naming them.

Retention (Sec 8(7)): personal data may only be kept as long as necessary for the stated purpose, or as required by law — this drives the "Data retention period defined" checklist item. Children's data (Sec 9): processing a child's (under-18) personal data needs verifiable parental consent and a ban on tracking/behavioural advertising to children — toggling this on adds that clause. Cross-border transfer (Sec 16): transferring data outside India is allowed by default except to government-restricted countries, but it must be disclosed.

DPO appointed (Sec 8(8)): a named contact who a Data Principal can reach completes that checklist item. Data Principal rights (Chapter III, Sections 11–14): the right to access, correct, erase and nominate is always included in your generated policy regardless of what you fill in here. Grievance redressal (Sec 13): requires a functioning contact channel that responds within a defined period — an empty DPO name/email leaves this checklist item incomplete.
