Every entry register, attendance machine, and job form is a data point under the new law.
Every day, your factory collects information from many people. The worker who punches in at 8am. The contractor who signs at the gate. The vendor who shares his phone number. You may not think of this as 'collecting data.' But the new DPDP law does. And if you are not telling people why you are collecting their information — you could be in trouble.
Think about your factory today. When a new worker joins, HR takes his Aadhaar and resume. When a vendor visits, the gate guard writes his name and phone number. When a contractor starts work, you collect his bank details for payment. All of this is covered under the new law. You must tell each person — before you collect — why you need their information. No notice means no permission. No permission means you are breaking the law.
List every place in your factory where you collect people's information.
Add a simple notice at the gate and on HR forms explaining why you collect data.
