\n TL;DR:<\/strong>\n

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, along with the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025, will govern how organisations and entities in India collect, process, and store digital data.<\/p> \n

This legislation aims to ensure data protection and transparency of use for Indian citizens. It intends to give them more control over their personal data.<\/p>\n

In the event industry, the DPDP Act and Rules will influence how organisers treat attendee data. The data fiduciary decides how attendee data will be collected and used.<\/p>\n

Failing to implement reasonable security safeguards can attract a penalty of up to \u20b9 250 crore. Separately, failing to notify the Data Protection Board and affected data principals (the owners of the personal data i.e. the attendees in case of events) after a breach can attract a penalty of up to \u20b9 200 crore.<\/P><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But where does all this information go after they click \u201cRegister\u201d? This is where the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025 become relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DPDP Act 2023 aims to make the collection and use of personal data more transparent and responsible, while giving people greater control over their personal information. The DPDP Rules 2025 fully operationalise the 2023 Act.
