📰 #MediaFeature #DPDPDraftRules #DPDPA With the fresh beginning of 2025, the government has set the tone for India's data privacy journey by releasing the draft rules for the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. These rules aim to provide clarity on critical aspects such as consent management, data fiduciaries' responsibilities, handling children's personal data, and the functioning of the Data Protection Board.
