Resumes, Aadhaar copies, salary slips — all sitting in your inbox right now.
Think about your inbox right now. How many resumes are sitting there? How many Aadhaar copies, PAN cards, and salary slips? Every staffing firm collects this information every single day. Most owners never stop to count it. Under the new DPDPA law, all of that information is your responsibility. If something goes wrong, you will be the one answering questions.
Imagine you run a small placement agency in Pune. Every day, candidates send resumes on WhatsApp. You forward those resumes to five client companies. You store Aadhaar copies in a Gmail folder. You share salary slips over email. Under DPDPA, you must have permission before collecting this information. You must tell candidates why you need it. You cannot share it without a reason. If a candidate asks you to delete their details, you must do it. Every step of your daily work is now covered by this law.
List every place you store candidate information — Gmail, WhatsApp, folders.
Add a simple consent line to your resume collection form or WhatsApp message.
