DPDP Obligations

5 obligations AI companies must meet

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 creates specific compliance obligations for AI companies that process personal data of Indian residents.

Data Subject Requests (DSR)

Respond within 30 days

Data principals can request access, correction, or erasure of their personal data. Anverith tracks every DSR with a 30-day countdown, automatic reminders, and a full audit trail.

How Anverith helps

Anverith Privacy Engine automates DSR intake, routing, and response tracking — with escalation alerts at Day 20 and Day 28.

Breach Notification

72 hours to notify the Data Protection Board

Any personal data breach must be reported to the Data Protection Board of India within 72 hours of the organisation becoming aware. This includes AI-related breaches — model inversion attacks, training data exfiltration, and inference endpoint breaches.

How Anverith helps

Anverith's breach tracker starts the 72-hour clock automatically on incident creation, with status updates and regulator notification templates.

Data Processing Agreements (DPA)

Required for all data processors

DPDP requires written agreements with all data processors — including cloud providers, AI model vendors, analytics platforms, and sub-processors. For AI companies, this includes your model training pipeline and inference infrastructure.

How Anverith helps

Anverith tracks all DPA statuses, expiry dates, and renewal workflows — with alerts 60 days before expiry.

Consent Management

Specific consent for each processing purpose

Consent must be specific, informed, and freely given for each processing purpose. Data collected for product personalisation cannot be repurposed for AI model training without fresh consent. Bundled consent is invalid under DPDP.

How Anverith helps

Anverith maps your AI data flows to their consent basis and alerts when data is used beyond its consented purpose.

Reasonable Security Safeguards

Fines up to ₹250 crore for failure

DPDP requires 'reasonable security safeguards' to protect personal data — a standard that regulators interpret as industry best practice. For AI companies, this includes securing training datasets, inference endpoints, and model outputs that may contain personal data.

How Anverith helps

Anverith links your security controls to DPDP requirements and maintains evidence of implementation for regulatory inspection.

Regulatory Risk

DPDP penalties are not optional reading

The Data Protection Board has the authority to investigate and impose fines without a court order. Per-violation penalties, not annual caps.
