Most businesses write fancy notices — but do nothing they promise.
Many small businesses copy a privacy notice from the internet. It looks good. But it says things the business never actually does. This is a big problem under the new DPDPA law. If your notice says one thing and you do another — you can get into trouble. The law wants you to tell people exactly what information you collect and why. Simple. Honest. Real.
Say you collect customer phone numbers on WhatsApp. Your notice must say that clearly. Say you take Aadhaar copies from new staff. Write that down too. Say you keep resumes of job applicants. Mention it. Do not write 'we may collect data for various purposes.' That is vague and useless. Write 'we collect your phone number to send you order updates.' That is honest. That is what the law wants. Real words. Real reasons.
List every type of information your business collects right now.
