Data Privacy And Data Protection

At Fidus Law Chambers, our Data Protection and Privacy Law practice provides comprehensive, strategic, and forward-thinking legal counsel to organizations navigating India’s rapidly evolving data protection landscape. As one of the most trusted data privacy law firms in India, we advise clients across sectors—including technology, financial services, healthcare, e-commerce, education, and manufacturing—on aligning their operations with emerging regulatory expectations, industry best practices, and global privacy standards.

With the enactment of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), India has ushered in a new era of personal data governance. Our team of experienced data privacy lawyers in India is deeply engaged with the structure and intent of this law and regularly advises clients on compliance strategies that uphold its core principles: lawful processing, purpose limitation, data minimization, storage limitation, accuracy, and data subject rights.

We help clients operationalize the requirements of the DPDP Act by:

• Conducting data protection impact assessments (DPIAs)
• Drafting and reviewing privacy policies, consent notices, and opt-in/opt-out mechanisms
• Advising on lawful bases for data collection and user rights
• Creating internal policies for data retention, grievance redressal, and data security
• Structuring notice-and-consent architectures compliant with Indian law

Our goal is to embed privacy-by-design into core operations, whether you’re a startup deploying an app or a multinational refining your global data program. We assist clients in integrating personal data compliance into vendor management, product development, marketing strategy, and cross-functional governance.

Sector-Specific Data Compliance and Risk Advisory

Our data protection lawyers understand that each sector faces unique privacy challenges. We offer tailored advice across industries:

• Fintech: We assist with secure processing of financial data, RBI-mandated data localization, and secure consent protocols for account aggregators and UPI apps.
• Healthtech: We guide compliance with sensitive health data regulations, telemedicine ethics, and electronic health record frameworks.
• Edtech & E-commerce: We advise on age-appropriate design, consent verification for minors, and compliance with rules around behavioral profiling and targeted advertising.

We also assist clients in developing sector-specific internal controls and employee training programs that reinforce accountability for personal data handling.

Global Privacy and Cross-Border Data Transfers

For clients with global operations, we advise on cross-border data transfer mechanisms in accordance with international privacy laws such as the EU GDPR, UK Data Protection Act and Singapore PDPA or applicable U.S. state-level privacy laws.

Incident Response and Breach Management

In the event of a data breach or regulatory notice, our team offers immediate legal guidance on:

• Breach notification to regulators and affected users
• Coordination with cybersecurity experts for forensic investigation
• Drafting response strategies and communicating with the Data Protection Board
• Stakeholder and PR engagement to preserve brand reputation
