Why it matters
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 sets the rules for how organisations collect, use, store and delete personal data in digital form. It applies to companies, hospitals, banks, schools, start-ups and government bodies, and to businesses outside India that offer goods or services to people in India.
The DPDP Rules, 2025 bring the Act into force in phases. Consent Managers come first, and the core duties on notice, consent, security safeguards, the rights of Data Principals and breach reporting follow. The countdown above shows each date.
The Data Protection Board of India can impose penalties of up to ₹250 crore for a failure to take reasonable security safeguards, and up to ₹200 crore for failing to report a personal data breach. Trained people are the most practical safeguard an organisation has.
Questions
Professionals who handle personal data at work: compliance, legal, IT and security, HR, healthcare and banking teams, founders, and anyone preparing for a Data Protection Officer role. No legal background is needed.
All courses are online learning. You study at your own pace on a phone or computer: read lessons, watch videos, download materials and track your progress from your account.
Ten units in two volumes, from the constitutional right to privacy and the core duties of the DPDP Act to consent, data governance, retention, breach response, the Data Protection Board, the DPO’s role, vendor management, cross-border transfers, programme maturity and the privacy risks of AI.
Each course page explains its assessment and certificate. The DPPO programme has two written papers, one for each volume, and leads to a certificate once the programme is approved.
Under the DPDP Act, a Significant Data Fiduciary must appoint a Data Protection Officer based in India, who represents the organisation on data protection and is the point of contact for grievances. Many other organisations appoint one as good practice.
