Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 compliance in Kolkata at a glance
Personal data in Kolkata is not confined to the glass towers of New Town. IT and BPM units in Sector V hold records for clients; shipping agents and freight forwarders at the port hold customer and consignee details; garment exporters and jewellery makers hold employee and buyer information; and the city's municipal and educational bodies hold records of residents and students. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act requires each of them to give clear notice, obtain valid consent, limit use, secure data, report breaches and answer individuals' requests, with processors bound by contract. The Act is explained on the India page. Sterling's Mumbai office helps Kolkata organisations turn those duties into routines; no certificate exists under it.

Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 in Kolkata: questions clients ask
What should a Kolkata IT firm do first about the DPDP Act?
Build a data inventory showing what personal data you hold and for whom, then review client contracts for processor duties, tighten access and security, and prepare breach and rights-request procedures. Whether and how the Act applies is a legal question; check with your counsel as the Rules phase in.
Does the DPDP Act affect Howrah and Salt Lake manufacturers?
It can, if they process digital personal data about customers, suppliers or employees, even without being technology firms. Payroll files, CCTV and customer lists count as data. The extent of your duties is a legal matter, so confirm it with your counsel and keep records of what you decide.
