Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Significant Data Fiduciary (SDF) under the DPDP Act?
The Central Government may designate entities processing high volumes of sensitive personal data or posing systemic risks as SDFs, obligating them to appoint a resident DPO, conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and engage independent statutory data auditors.
Can personal data of Indian residents be transferred cross-border?
Yes. The DPDP Act permits cross-border transfer of personal data to foreign jurisdictions unless the Central Government specifically blacklists a particular country or territory by notification.
