Data Privacy & DPDP
Data privacy is no longer a compliance checkbox – it is a core product and business design constraint. Vectis Law advises technology companies on building privacy-compliant products from the ground up, navigating India's evolving data protection regime alongside cross-border requirements. We work at the intersection of legal compliance and technical architecture, helping clients implement privacy-by-design principles that satisfy regulators without crippling product functionality. Our approach emphasises practical, engineering-friendly guidance: data flow mapping, consent architecture, lawful basis analysis, and vendor management frameworks that engineering teams can actually implement.

Regulatory Landscape
India's data protection framework is anchored by the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 (DPDP Act), supplemented by the IT (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures) Rules 2011, and sector-specific regulations including RBI data localisation directives and SEBI cybersecurity frameworks. For companies with cross-border operations, EU GDPR compliance remains a parallel requirement. We help clients navigate this layered regulatory environment with practical compliance strategies tailored to their technical architecture.
