FAQs
The DPDPA is India’s data protection law that governs how personal data is collected, used, and stored. It sets requirements for consent, data security, and user rights. The Act came into force in 2023 and applies to organizations processing personal data in India, including schools.
All schools in India that collect, store, or process personal data of students, parents, staff, or vendors must comply with the DPDPA. Compliance obligations depend on the type and scale of data processing—public, private, large, and small institutions should assess their exposure.
Processing includes any activity performed on personal data: collection, recording, storage, use, disclosure, sharing, or deletion. For schools, typical processing examples include student enrolment records, photographs, attendance logs, communications with parents, and third-party services that handle school data.
Implementation time varies by school size, current maturity, and scope. A focused compliance audit and prioritized action plan can deliver meaningful improvements in weeks; full implementation (policies, systems, training, vendor governance) typically takes a few months. We offer staged roadmaps to fit different schedules.
If a parent withdraws consent, the school must stop processing the specific data for the purpose covered by that consent, unless another lawful basis applies. The school should provide clear procedures for withdrawal and document the action. Some operational records may still be retained if legally required; consult policy guidance.
The DPDPA includes significant penalties for various violations (including failure to implement safeguards or to notify breaches). Penalty amounts vary by the type and severity of violations. Schools should treat compliance proactively to avoid reputational damage and financial risk.

Yes. Privacy-first workflows and consent management systems can be integrated with common LMS/ MIS platforms using APIs or secure connectors. Integration ensures single-source consent records and reduces manual work — but we always verify compatibility and data flows in a discovery phase.
