Data Protection & Privacy
Data Protection & Privacy
Compliance guidance for Indian and international data protection regulations
Practice Overview
Data protection and privacy law forms an integral part of our technology law practice, addressing the legal requirements that technology companies, e-commerce platforms, and data-driven businesses must navigate in India and internationally.
We assist organisations in implementing compliance frameworks under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), the Information Technology Act, 2000, and international regulations including GDPR. Our services cover the practical aspects of compliance—from drafting privacy policies and consent mechanisms to establishing data governance structures.
Our approach integrates data protection with broader IP and technology law considerations. For technology companies, this means addressing data protection alongside software licensing, technology contracts, and IP protection. We help clients build sustainable compliance programmes that support business operations rather than impeding them.
