From Act to Action : DPDPA tactics that work for the Non Profits

Is your organisation equipped to responsibly handle personal data of donors, beneficiaries, and volunteers? Do you know the legal risks and trust deficits that can arise when data is misused — even unintentionally?

If these questions resonate with you, this session is not to be missed. The India Partner Network (IPN), in collaboration with Tekdi Technologies Private Limited is hosting a focused learning session on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) 2023 — India’s landmark law that reshapes how personal data must be collected, stored, and used.

For nonprofits, safeguarding personal data is more than a legal obligation — it is foundational to building trust with stakeholders and ensuring responsible impact delivery.

Key Takeaways

• A clear understanding of the key principles of the DPDPA 2023: explicit consent, data minimisation, purpose limitation, data security, and individual rights like access, correction, and erasure

• Practical insights into nonprofit-specific obligations, such as issuing clear privacy notices, appointing a data protection officer (if applicable), and handling data breach reporting

• A deep dive into special protections for children’s data, and the role of consent mechanisms and consent managers

• Guidance on how to align your internal processes and systems with the law to avoid compliance risks and build a culture of data responsibility

Who should attend?

This session is designed for nonprofit organisations that collect or manage Personally Identifiable Information (PII) — especially those working closely with citizens, children, or vulnerable communities. It is especially relevant for those in roles related to operations, programmes, M&E, communications, technology, and legal/compliance.
