You don't need to be a big company for DPDPA to apply to you.
Many small business owners think this law is only for big companies like Flipkart or Zomato. But that is not true. If you collect even one customer's phone number on WhatsApp, or take resumes from job seekers, this law already applies to you. There is no rule that says small businesses are safe. Size does not protect you. What matters is — are you collecting people's information digitally? If yes, read on.
Think about your daily work. You collect customer phone numbers on WhatsApp. You take resumes when hiring. Your website has a contact form. Your staff fills Aadhaar details for PF. All of this is collecting people's information. DPDPA covers all of it. It does not matter if you have 5 staff or 500. It does not matter if you run a school, a factory, or a small shop. If you collect digital information from people, this law is for you.
