Think you're too small for DPDPA? That's the most common mistake.
Many shop and factory owners think this law is only for big companies. That is wrong. DPDPA applies to every business that collects people's information — big or small. You collect customer phone numbers. You store staff Aadhaar copies. You share resumes on WhatsApp. That is enough. The law sees you. And it holds you responsible.
Think about your daily work. You save customer phone numbers on your phone. You keep Aadhaar and PAN card copies of your staff. You send salary slips on WhatsApp. You receive resumes on email or WhatsApp groups. All of this is covered under DPDPA. Small businesses usually have no proper system for this. No lock. No process. No rules. That is exactly why the risk is higher for you — not lower.
Write down all places where you store customer or staff information.
Stop sharing Aadhaar copies or resumes on WhatsApp groups immediately.
