When ConsentPlix is the better choice for DPDP compliance
- DPDP Act Section 6 Itemised Notice: India's law explicitly mandates granular, purpose-by-purpose itemisation. ConsentPlix generates structured, unbundled notices that hold up in front of the Data Protection Board of India.
- All 22 Eighth Schedule Indian languages: Section 5(3) grants citizens the statutory right to access consent notices in any of the 22 scheduled languages. ConsentPlix provides professionally vetted translations in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Marathi, Gujarati, and 16 more languages.
- Mathematical burden of proof: Under Section 6(10), if a user complains, you must prove what they consented to, when, and on what version of your notice. Traditional database logs can be disputed or altered. ConsentPlix seals every decision with HMAC-SHA256 and Merkle roots, verifiable via our public receipt tool.
- Complete Rights Management (Sections 11–14): Complying with DPDP requires handling access, correction, withdrawal, and grievances. ConsentPlix includes a ready-to-use hosted Data Principal Rights Portal so you don't need to build internal workflows from scratch.
- Direct Indian Rupee billing: Clean GST invoices in Indian Rupees (INR) with no foreign exchange markups.
