The notice must be: (i) clear, plain, and not embedded in Terms & Conditions; (ii) specify all personal data collected and purposes; (iii) explain how rights under DPDPA may be exercised; (iv) provide details of how to complain to the Data Protection Board; and (v) provide DPO contact details. Objective: Ensure data principals are fully informed before giving consent, making all consent legally valid under the DPDPA. > > — India DPDP Act 2023, Control TR-001 ### In plain English Provide a standalone privacy notice to data principals at or before seeking consent. In practice, this means you can prove you ensure standalone privacy notice-level controls on a defined cadence. ## Why it matters Penalties under the DPDP Act reach ₹250 crore per instance of significant non-compliance, and the Act applies extra-territorially to any entity processing personal data of individuals in India in connection with offering goods or services. This control is rated **high**. Auditors expect a named owner, a remediation SLA, and a tooling artefact that evidences continuous operation. ## What an auditor looks for Indian DPAs and statutory auditors will look for: documented consent capture and revocation flows, a designated Data Protection Officer (for Significant Data Fiduciaries), breach-notification workflows tied to Data Protection Board notification timelines, and Records of Processing that match the consent notice the user saw. Within **Transparency**, the assessor will trace your implementation back to the catalogue reference (Control TR-001) and look for objective evidence on the latest two assessment cycles. ## How to implement #### Policy Management **Docs.** Keep each policy in version-controlled Markdown alongside the code that implements it; ship a signed PDF snapshot at each annual review and link the SHA into the SoA. ### Operational checklist - **Ensure.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Provide.** Document the trigger, the owner and the cadence. - **Scope:** standalone privacy notice. ## Evidence to collect - **Policy Document.** A signed and version-controlled policy / standard / procedure document. Signed policies, procedures, and registers document the safeguard. Focus: Standalone Privacy Notice. ## Common pitfalls - Policies that no engineer has read; the version in Confluence drifts from the version that's actually being enforced. ## How it maps to other frameworks Computed from shared tags, control component and key-operation subjects — handy when you are reconciling controls across an audit. - [**ISO/IEC 27701:2025 A.1.2.6** — Privacy impact assessment](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27701-2025/a-1-2-6-privacy-impact-assessment) - [**NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 PT-5(1)** — Just-In-Time Notice](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/nist-sp-800-53-rev-5/pt-5-1-just-in-time-notice) - [**SOC 2 (2017 TSC) P3.2** — Consent Management for Personal Information Collection](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/soc-2-trust-services-criteria/p3-2-consent-management-for-personal-information-collection) - [**GDPR Article 2** — Material Scope](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr/article-2-material-scope) ## Related controls in India DPDP Act 2023 - [**Control LB-005** — Employee Privacy Notice & HR Data Governance](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/lb-005-employee-privacy-notice-hr-data-governance) - [**Control TR-002** — Multi-Language Consent Interface](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/tr-002-multi-language-consent-interface) - [**Control LB-004** — Voluntary Disclosure Processing Notice & Opt-Out](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/lb-004-voluntary-disclosure-processing-notice-opt-out) - [**Control DS-005** — Consent Withdrawal Mechanism](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/ds-005-consent-withdrawal-mechanism) - [**Control DS-007** — Grievance Redressal Mechanism](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/ds-007-grievance-redressal-mechanism) - [**Control GV-002** — Designated Representative Appointment](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023/gv-002-designated-representative-appointment) ## References - [Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (India) — India DPDP Act 2023](https://www.meity.gov.in/content/digital-personal-data-protection-act-2023) - Catalogue identifier: `Control TR-001` Topics: governance riskdata protectionprivacy managementpolicy management ## Related compliance guidance - [India's DPDP Act 2023: a practical compliance guide for cloud teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/india-dpdp-act-2023): Start with the full DPDP Act implementation guide — scope, roadmap, evidence and how the assessment runs. - [GDPR compliance: a practical implementation guide for cloud-native SaaS teams](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/gdpr): Most teams extend an existing GDPR programme to India; this guide shows where the lawful bases, timelines and breach rules differ. - [ISO/IEC 27001:2022 compliance: a practical implementation guide](https://support.icompaas.com/compliance/iso-27001-2022): Rule 6's reasonable security safeguards map almost one-to-one onto ISO 27001 Annex A controls you may already operate.
