About This Course

A short, practical course for anyone who uses or handles personal data: employees, students, shop owners, freelancers. No legal background needed. Every module uses Indian examples and ends with one thing you can do today.

Who it is for: Everyone. Companies use this level as their yearly staff privacy training. Students use it to understand a law that will shape their careers. Small business owners use it to see what applies to them.

You will be able to:

  • Spot personal data in your daily work and life.
  • Name the five roles in the Act and who plays each one.
  • Explain valid consent in one sentence, and recognise invalid consent.
  • Use your four rights and know your duties as a Data Principal.
  • Recognise a personal data breach and report it the right way.
  • Explain why companies face penalties of up to ₹250 crore, and when the rules start.

Self-paced online course. On passing the final assessment you receive a certificate of completion. It records that you completed this course and passed its assessment; it is not a licence, an accredited certification or a qualification recognised by any government body.
