Nobody claimed it — and that is exactly the problem.
Your admissions team collects student phone numbers. Your product team stores parent Aadhaar details. Your marketing team sends WhatsApp messages. But if someone asks — who is in charge of all this information — nobody raises their hand. That silence is dangerous. Under the new data protection law, your business must have one clear person responsible. If you do not, you can face heavy fines.
Think about your online coaching centre or school app. Your admissions team collects student names and phone numbers. Your marketing team uses those numbers to send WhatsApp offers. Your product team stores test scores and parent email IDs. But who is responsible if something goes wrong? Right now, nobody knows. The law says your business must decide this clearly. Write down which team owns which information. Do it before a problem happens.
