DPDP Consent Management Guide

Under the DPDP Act, consent must be free, specific, informed, unambiguous — and as easy to withdraw as to give.

1. What valid consent requires

  • A clear affirmative action (no pre-ticked boxes).
  • An itemised notice describing the data and purpose.
  • A working, easy withdrawal path.

2. Design for withdrawal first

If withdrawal is harder than granting, you have a problem — and building it forces you to know where the data actually went.

3. Consent Managers

The DPDP framework allows a registered Consent Manager through which data principals give, review and withdraw consent.
