Consent management for India’s DPDP Act

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 expects consent to be specific and purpose-bound. Consent Guru helps you operate that consent, without offering a compliance guarantee.

What is a Consent Management Platform for DPDP?

For the DPDP Act, a consent management platform helps a Data Fiduciary present a purpose-bound notice, record the Data Principal’s choice, support withdrawal, and keep evidence of that workflow. It is software. It is not, by itself, a Consent Manager registered with the Data Protection Board.

India’s law treats consent as a recorded, reversible choice

The DPDP Act applies to digital personal data processed in India and, in many cases, to processing outside India connected with offering goods or services to people in India. Consent is tied to a stated purpose and must be withdrawable.

A consent manager in this context is the system that presents the notice, stores the Data Principal’s choice, and lets that choice be changed. Consent Guru is built for that operational role.

How DPDP consent operations map to the product

Step 1
Notice
Publish what personal data is used and for which purpose, in a language you have configured.
Step 2
Consent
Collect a clear, purpose-level action. Do not bundle unrelated purposes into one unavoidable accept.
Step 3
Record
Keep the consent record and the notice version so the fiduciary can demonstrate what was obtained.
Step 4
Rights
Route access, correction, erasure, nomination, and grievance requests through the Privacy Centre.

Key capabilities

Purpose-bound consent

Purposes are explicit objects in the policy, not a paragraph buried in a footer.

Indian languages

Banner and preference-center text can use English or the built-in Eighth Schedule language pack.

Consent Manager context

The Act also contemplates Consent Managers as a registered role. Registration is a statutory process. Shipping this software is not that registration.

Children

Child-directed sites can require age assurance and guardian consent before optional processing.

What teams use it for

A notice and a record that refer to the same purposes.
Withdrawal from the preference center.
Data Principal request intake next to consent operations.
A longer statute guide when teams need the legal map.

India-facing products

Collect purpose-level consent for services offered to people in India.

Global companies with Indian users

Run a DPDP-oriented configuration without discarding GDPR or CCPA setups on other sites.

Fiduciary operations

Give privacy and engineering one published policy to implement.

Privacy considerations

This is not legal advice. The DPDP Act, its rules, and any Consent Manager registration requirements should be confirmed with counsel.

Consent Guru helps organizations implement consent and rights workflows related to the DPDP Act. It does not guarantee DPDP compliance, and it does not determine Significant Data Fiduciary status.
