Your Factory Runs on Data. DPDP Compliance Should Too.

Manufacturers hold personal data on thousands of employees, contract workers, dealers, and customers across plants, ERPs, and partner networks. Digital Anumati gives you one consent and rights layer for all of it, so compliance keeps up with production.

Where personal data lives

More People's Data Than a Retail Business Ever Holds

A plant touches six groups of people, and each group's data sits in different systems, vendors, and sites.

Employees

HR files, payroll, bank details, health and medical records

Contract workers

ID proofs, biometric attendance, agency and wage records

Visitors & access

Gate logs, CCTV footage, visitor ID, vehicle numbers

Dealers & distributors

KYC, GST and bank details, onboarding documents

Customers & service

Warranty registrations, service tickets, contact details

Connected plants

Operator IDs on machines, IoT and MES logs linked to people

The challenge

Why Manufacturing Finds DPDP Hard

The Act holds the company accountable for personal data wherever it sits, including at your vendors.

Every plant runs its own process

Consent, notices, and records differ from site to site, so no one can show a single compliance view.

Biometrics and CCTV are everywhere

Fingerprint attendance and camera footage are collected daily, often without a clear notice or purpose.

Vendors handle your data

Staffing agencies, payroll, logistics, and IT partners process personal data, and you stay accountable for it.

Old records pile up

Years of employee and customer files are kept with no retention rule and no way to honor an erasure request.

What you get

Privacy Solutions Built for Manufacturers

Digital Anumati manages consent and data principal rights at scale, across plants, partners, and systems.

Workforce notices & consent

Issue DPDP-ready notices in local languages and record consent for employees, contract workers, and visitors, including biometric attendance.

Dealer & customer consent

Track consent for warranty, service, and dealer onboarding, and share data with partners only for the purpose agreed.

Data principal rights portal

One portal for access, correction, and erasure requests, routed to the right plant or system and closed within the deadline.

Vendor & processor register

List every agency, payroll, IT, and logistics partner that processes personal data, with an audit trail of what each received.

Breach readiness

Log incidents, assess impact, and prepare notices for the Data Protection Board and affected people in one workflow.

Legacy data cleanup

Send fresh notices to existing employee and customer records so older data held across plants comes into compliance.

Use case

Biometric Attendance Across Plants

Biometric data is sensitive. The DPDP Act needs notice, a clear purpose, and a way to withdraw consent.

Without a consent layer

  • Five plants use five different attendance vendors
  • No common notice and no consent record
  • Workers cannot ask what is stored or have it deleted
  • Penalty and union dispute risk

With Digital Anumati

  • Workers see a notice in their own language at onboarding
  • Each consent is recorded with time, version, and purpose
  • Withdrawal and erasure requests reach the right vendor
  • HR gets one audit trail for all plants
FAQ

Common Questions from Manufacturers

Does the DPDP Act apply to a manufacturer with no consumer app?

Yes. The Act covers any personal data you process in digital form, including employee, contract worker, visitor, and dealer data.

Is biometric attendance allowed?

It is allowed with a clear notice, a stated purpose, and valid consent, and you must keep the data secure and delete it once the purpose ends.

We use many vendors. Who is responsible?

Your company, as the data fiduciary, stays accountable for data its vendors process. Keep a vendor register and a written agreement with each one.

Can we manage all plants from one place?

Yes. One dashboard holds consent records, rights requests, and audit trails for every plant and partner.
