Navigating Data Minimization Requirements under India’s DPDP Act
While the provisions of India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (“DPDP Act”) and its rules are yet to be notified, organizations need to prepare for a new set of compliance obligations and plan ahead. In large part, the DPDP Act follows global regulatory templates like the EU’s GDPR and embodies similar overarching principles such as data minimization and purpose limitation. The procedural implications of such principles reflected in the DPDP Act will translate into specific obligations and practices related to data collection, processing, sharing, and storage, especially in the context of Big Data analytics – including through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques.
This note analyzes the principle of data minimization under the DPDP Act, its interface with other laws (including with respect to consumer protection), and discusses potential learnings from other jurisdictions, including for the purpose of implementing such principle at an operational level.
