DPDPA is India's framework for handling digital personal data, and the DPDP Rules, 2025 have now been notified. For Indian businesses, the real work is operational: fix your notices, consent flows, rights handling, retention logic, and vendor controls. SaralPrivacy helps you understand what matters, assess your risk, and prioritise the next 30 to 90 days.

Educational, not alarmist

We explain what DPDPA actually requires in language that founders and operations teams can act on — not fear-mongering.

Practical and actionable

Every briefing ends with a checklist. Every assessment ends with a roadmap. We focus on what to do, not just what the law says.

Built for Indian businesses

Not a GDPR guide repurposed for India. Every piece of content is written specifically for Indian business contexts and data practices.

Not legal advice

We are an intelligence and education platform. For formal legal opinions, engage a qualified data protection lawyer. We tell you what to prepare.
