Frequently Asked Questions

Is privacy by design a legal requirement under DPDP?+

DPDP's data minimisation and purpose limitation principles effectively require privacy-by-design thinking. While not explicitly named, implementing privacy by design is the surest way to satisfy DPDP's substantive requirements.

How do we make privacy by design practical for agile teams?+

Add a privacy review gate to your sprint planning: before each sprint, ask 'does this feature collect new personal data?' If yes, complete the privacy checklist before development begins.

What is the most common privacy-by-design failure?+

Collecting data 'just in case' — the opposite of data minimisation. The second most common: building without a data deletion path, violating the right to erasure.
