DPDP Practitioner

Six core modules teach the operating rules every employee who handles personal data must follow. Six short role tracks then turn those rules into a daily checklist for HR, marketing, IT, support, sales and finance teams; study the one closest to your job first. Throughout, you follow ChaiCart, a fictional Pune tea-delivery start-up with 6 lakh customers, 120 staff, an Indore call-centre vendor and Mumbai cloud hosting.

Who it is for: Anyone whose job touches customer, employee, candidate or vendor data but who does not run the compliance programme. Teams often take it together with the same role track.

You will be able to:

• Map the lifecycle of personal data in your own process.
• Choose the right lawful ground for ten common situations.
• Spot a defective notice and fix it against Rule 3.
• Handle a rights request end to end within your organisation's published timeline.
• Act correctly in the first hour of a breach.
• Know when a vendor needs a data-protection contract.
• Follow a one-page desk card written for your role.
