India’s DPDP Act 2023: How Evalbench and Lex Curiam Help Businesses Achieve Data Privacy Compliance

Cookie Consent in India: A DPDP Mandate

Cookies are now considered personal data processors under the DPDP Act, making explicit, informed user consent legally mandatory.

Why Cookie Consent Matters:

• Legal Compliance: Pre-ticked boxes and implied consent are invalid.
• Transparency: Users must be informed about cookie types and their purposes (e.g., analytics, marketing).
• User Control: Must allow opting in/out of non-essential cookies.

Evalbench Tool Evaluation and Implementation:

• Analyze client requirements to recommend best-fit privacy tools
• End-to-End Implementation and do Continuous Monitoring
• Logs and maintains audit-ready consent records

Privacy Policies & Notices: Building Blocks of Compliance

DPDP requires businesses to implement two core documents:

Privacy Policy:

A detailed document covering data collection, usage, sharing, and retention. It must reflect the 7 DPDP principles, including purpose limitation, data minimization, and accountability.

Privacy Notice:

A short, easy-to-understand summary shown at the point of data collection, clearly stating:

• What data is being collected
• Why it’s being processed
• How users can revoke consent

Lex Curiam specializes in crafting:

• DPDP-compliant privacy policies
• Multilingual notices tailored to India’s diverse user base
• Integrated user consent and revocation flows

Evalbench Tools: Privacy Tech That Works for India

Helping Organizations choose the right tools is crucial to operationalizing DPDP compliance. Evalbench makes it easier with tool evaluation and implementation:

• Consent Management Platforms (CMPs) – Capture, store, and manage consent lifecycle
• Data Mapping Tools – Discover, classify, and map personal/sensitive data flows
• Risk Assessment Modules – Identify vulnerabilities in data handling, vendor contracts, or storage systems

DPIA, Gap Assessments & Privacy Audits

The DPDP Act calls for a proactive privacy approach through:

• Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) – Mandatory for high-risk processing (e.g., profiling, behavioral targeting)
• Gap Assessments – Compare existing practices with DPDP compliance benchmarks
• Audits – Legal and technical validation of data privacy practices

Lex Curiam delivers comprehensive DPIAs and audits, combining legal depth with technical precision to offer actionable remediation plans.
