The DPDP Act uses specific terms. Understanding them is the first step to compliance.
Data Principal
The Data Principal is the individual to whom the personal data relates. The Act grants them rights over their data.
Data Fiduciary
The Data Fiduciary is the person or business that, alone or with others, decides the purpose and means of processing personal data. It is analogous to a controller under GDPR.

If you decide how personal data is used, you are a Data Fiduciary with duties around consent, security and breach reporting. Univate helps you meet them.
