The DPDP Act establishes new standards for data protection and accountability. The Act brings out several new legal requirements such as providing privacy notices in 22 languages, collecting and maintaining consent artifacts, obtaining verifiable parental consent for minors, communicating on privacy breaches, and administering consent nominations.
In addition to the above, the partnership with Privy will enable Axis Bank, a Data Fiduciary under the Act, to provide comprehensive regulatory reporting. It will also facilitate the creation of dashboards for Data Protection Officer (DPO) to monitor and track customer consent activities, including when consent was given, modified, or revoked.
