Designed to help MSME companies build trust around data privacy and protection
Mumbai 23th Dec,
2024: The Data Security Council of India (DSCI) has
partnered with Privy by IDfy to
launch PriView, a
free-to-use tool that generates privacy notices for companies. It simplifies
the process of generating and customizing clear and privacy-compliant notices.
Currently, drafting of privacy
notices is challenging for small to medium companies. These companies lack the
legal resources to study regulation, provide clarity on the format and provide
purpose-specific descriptions for the data being collected. Global tools for
privacy and data protection compliance often do not account for India-specific
requirements.
With PriView,
DSCI and Privy have taken a proactive step to help the industry navigate the
evolving data protection compliances. The tool is intuitive, simple, and more
importantly free-to-use. It takes a simple input on the name, industry, and the
purpose for which a notice is required. In return, it produces a privacy notice
that is customized to the specific requirement. This resolves a significant gap
in practice, given the granular consent requirements under the DPDP Act.https://priview.idfy.com/notice-generator
The DPDP Act was passed in 2023
to empower Indian citizens with rights over the use of their personal data.
With this upgrade, operating without privacy governance controls can harm the
reputation of an organization. Safeguarding the rights and private data of
digital end-users is thus a priority.
PriView is brought to you by
Privy, India’s first suite of data privacy solutions. Privy is an initiative by
the IDfy group, Asia’s leading Integrated Identity Platform. Privy is committed
to helping organizations across industries achieve full compliance with the
Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act).
Vinayak Godse,
CEO, DSCI said: “After the enactment of the Digital Personal Data
Protection Act, India’s SMEs, startups, and non-digital native companies will
now be navigating the nuances of data protection compliance. DSCI, as an
industry body, found it to be imperative to make available tools and resources
to assist organisations in this complex journey. This privacy notice generator
will help achieve a dual objective: first, it will facilitate businesses’
privacy maturity and awareness, and, second, it can ensure that end consumers
provide meaningful consent for digital products and services. I welcome this
collaboration with Privy on developing this essential tool for the industry.”
Ashok Hariharan,
CEO & Co-founder, IDfy said: “The launch of PriView with
DSCI marks a milestone in India’s Trust and Privacy journey. As the DPDP Act
reshapes the landscape, PriView shall empower businesses and individuals to go
beyond compliance and build lasting trust. At Privy, we’re proud to play a role
in India’s leap into a new era of digital privacy and data protection."
The DPDP Act 2023 focuses on
the provision of notices in multiple languages, consent artifacts, and
intersections with existing sectoral regulations.
This partnership between DSCI
and Privy aims to solve this problem. PriView streamlines issuing customized
notices for obtaining user consent across various touchpoints. In summary,
adhering to regulatory requirements and maintaining customer trust both receive
a significant boost.
