If your words and actions don't match, customers stop trusting you.
Imagine your shop form asks for a customer's Aadhaar number. But your privacy notice says you only collect phone numbers. That is a problem. Under the new DPDPA law, what you write on your forms must match what your privacy notice says. If they disagree, you can face big fines. Worse, your customers will stop trusting you. Does this apply to your business? Most likely yes.
Say you run a small school. Your admission form asks for the child's Aadhaar and parent's phone number. But your privacy notice only mentions name and address. That mismatch is a problem. Or you run a factory. Your job form asks for a resume and salary slip. But nowhere do you explain why you need that. Under DPDPA, you must explain clearly. Fix your forms. Fix your notice. Make them say the same thing.
