Key takeaways
- Under the DPDP Act, only if an OTT platform qualifies as a significant data fiduciary will it have to appoint a data protection officer.
- Data processors for OTTs will be bound by contractual obligations, ensuring robust data protection measures in line with the Act.
- The DPDP Act offers multiple avenues, including Data Protection Board and judicial channels, to address data breaches and harm caused to data principals.
Telecom companies and OTTs both operate as individual data fiduciaries as both collect data - or, in some cases, receive from the other party - and decide the means and its purpose.
