What the DPDP Act Requires from a Consent Manager
Under the DPDP Act, consent is not a formality — it is the legal foundation for most personal data processing in India. Section 6 of the Act lays down strict conditions that every consent notice and consent mechanism must fulfil.
Free & Unambiguous
Consent cannot be bundled, pre-ticked, or made a condition of service. It must be a clear, affirmative action by the Data Principal.
Specific & Informed
Each consent notice must describe the exact purpose of data processing in plain language, in English or any language listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
Withdrawable at Any Time
Data Principals have the right to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawal must be as easy as giving consent, and must be honoured promptly by the Data Fiduciary.
Why Indian Businesses Need a DPDP-Specific Consent Manager
Most consent management platforms in the market were built for GDPR or CCPA. The DPDP Act introduces India-specific obligations that generic tools simply don't address.

| Data Protection Board grievance linkage | Not supported | Built-in |
