Consent and Notice
Purpose-specific consent capture, multilingual notices, and one-click withdrawal. Embeddable widgets for web, mobile and front-desk tablets.
Sections 5, 6 · Consent ManagersDPDPA Suite is a hosted developer platform and AI toolkit for healthcare providers and other teams that handle sensitive personal data in India. Ship consent, data principal rights, breach response and data discovery through APIs, instead of spreadsheets.
Aligned to the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025. Currently onboarding a small group of design partners.
Why now
Hospitals, clinics, labs, insurers and health apps process some of the most personal data there is. Under the Act, every one of them is a Data Fiduciary with obligations that are enforceable by the Data Protection Board of India.
Who it is for
We are starting where the data is most sensitive and the workflows are most complex, then expanding to every Data Fiduciary covered by the Act.
The platform
Each module maps to specific duties under the Act and Rules, and every action is written to a tamper-evident audit log you can hand to an auditor or the Board.
Purpose-specific consent capture, multilingual notices, and one-click withdrawal. Embeddable widgets for web, mobile and front-desk tablets.
Sections 5, 6 · Consent ManagersA hosted portal and API for access, correction, erasure, grievance and nomination requests, with identity checks and SLA tracking built in.
Sections 11 to 14Models tuned for Indian healthcare data find and classify personal data across databases, HL7 and FHIR feeds, PDFs and scanned forms.
Section 8 · data inventoryGuided incident runbooks, Data Principal notifications, and pre-filled reports for the Data Protection Board within the prescribed timelines.
Section 8(6) · Rule 7Policy-driven retention schedules that respect clinical record laws, with automated erasure workflows and advance notice to Data Principals.
Section 8(7) · Rule 8Verifiable parental consent for paediatric patients and minors, plus support for lawful guardians of persons with disabilities.
Section 9 · Rules 10, 11For developers

Compliance timeline
The DPDP Rules, 2025 phase in obligations over 18 months. Most of the work for Data Fiduciaries lands at the end, so the time to build is now.
Data Protection Board of India constituted. Definitions and Board procedures take effect.
Registration and obligations for Consent Managers come into force.
Notice, consent, security safeguards, breach reporting, retention, children's data and rights all apply.
Where we are
DPDPA Suite is in active development. We build in the open with a small group of design partners and ship in short cycles.
FAQ
If you process digital personal data of individuals in India, or offer goods or services to people in India, you are very likely a Data Fiduciary under the Act. That includes patient data that was collected on paper and later digitised.
No. DPDPA Suite is software that helps you operationalise your obligations. Your legal counsel and Data Protection Officer remain responsible for interpreting the Act for your organisation.
The hosted platform is designed to run in Indian cloud regions. Personal data used for discovery scans can stay in your environment, with only metadata and classifications sent to the platform.
Discovery models classify fields and documents to build your data map. Customer data is not used to train shared models, and every AI suggestion is reviewable by a human before it becomes policy.
Design partners use the beta free of charge in exchange for regular feedback. Pricing for general availability will be published before launch.
