DPDPA Services for Schools: Building Privacy, Trust, and Compliance

Make Your School DPDPA-Ready, Without Extra Work

Data protection in education is no longer a one-time checklist. With India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023, schools are now responsible for protecting student, parent, and staff data with the same seriousness as physical safety.

From admissions and classroom photos to ERP systems, learning apps, and vendor platforms, schools handle sensitive personal data daily. Compliance today requires systems, people, processes, and ongoing oversight—not just policies.

At DPDPA for Schools, our services are designed to support educational institutions at every stage of their privacy journey, from first-time compliance to long-term governance.

Why Schools Need a Structured DPDPA Support System

Most schools face similar challenges:

• Rapid digitisation without clear data governance
• Multiple apps and vendors handling student data
• Staff unsure how to respond to privacy situations
• Parents asking valid questions about data use
• Fear of complaints, breaches, or audits
• Uncertainty around changing legal expectations

Our services work together to remove confusion and replace it with clarity, confidence, and compliance—without increasing workload for teachers or administrators.

Data Protection Audits: Knowing Where You Stand

Compliance starts with visibility.

Our Data Protection Audits help schools understand how data currently flows across the institution. We review practices around parental consent, media sharing, data storage, vendor usage, and response to parent requests.

The outcome is not just a report, but a clear, prioritised action plan tailored to how your school actually operates. This gives leadership a realistic roadmap to move from risk to readiness.

Privacy-First Media Workflows: Sharing Memories Safely

School events are joyful—but photo and video sharing has become one of the biggest privacy risks in education.

Our Privacy-First Media Workflows replace informal sharing methods with secure, AI-driven systems that ensure parents receive only their own child’s images. Integrated with the LIT App, this approach removes human error, embeds consent, and aligns media sharing with DPDP requirements.

Schools can celebrate achievements without compromising student privacy or parent trust.

Teacher & Staff Training: Turning Compliance Into Daily Practice

Policies and tools only work if people know how to use them.

Our Teacher & Staff Training programs focus on real-world scenarios teachers and administrators face every day—photo sharing, app usage, data requests, communication with parents, and incident response.

Through interactive workshops, quick-reference guides, and practical drills, staff gain the confidence to make privacy-safe decisions instinctively. Compliance becomes a habit, not a burden.

Ongoing Support & Compliance Updates: Staying Ready All Year

DPDPA compliance is not static. Staff change, vendors rotate, new tools are introduced, and regulations evolve.

Our Ongoing Compliance Support ensures schools remain aligned throughout the year through regular reviews, policy refreshes, vendor recertification, and direct access to privacy experts when questions or incidents arise.

This proactive approach keeps schools audit-ready and reinforces a long-term commitment to data dignity.

One Framework, Multiple Services, One Goal

Each service addresses a different layer of data protection, but together they form a complete ecosystem:

• Audits create clarity
• Media workflows reduce risk
• Training builds awareness
• Ongoing support sustains compliance

Whether you are a playschool, K–12 institution, college, or university, these services adapt to your size, structure, and digital maturity.
