Dhruv Kaushal Shares Insights with Bar & Bench on Privacy Notices under India’s DPDP Regime

Dhruv Kaushal was recently featured in Bar & Bench’s Leading Questions series, where he discussed the evolving role of privacy notices under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act).

In the interaction, Dhruv explained how the DPDP Act has fundamentally shifted privacy notices from being standard legal documents to becoming key instruments of transparency, informed consent, and organisational accountability. He highlighted that organisations must move beyond generic, template-based privacy policies and instead ensure that their privacy notices accurately reflect their actual data processing practices.

Dhruv also outlined the essential components of a legally compliant privacy notice, emphasising the importance of clear and accessible language, regular updates to align with evolving business practices, and strong governance mechanisms that foster trust among customers, employees, investors, and regulators.

As India moves towards a more robust data protection framework, Dhruv noted that privacy notices are no longer merely compliance documents but are increasingly becoming dynamic communication tools that demonstrate responsible data stewardship and reinforce an organisation’s commitment to privacy by design.
