Act, Rules and Board activity

The "why it matters" note on each entry is practitioner guidance on what to review. It is not legal advice and not a statement of any organisation's compliance position.

A procedural notification relating to the operation of the DPDP framework was published, setting out steps that data fiduciaries are expected to follow.

Authority: Illustrative data protection authority

Published: 30 Sept 2026

A procedural development relating to how complaints are received and handled under the DPDP framework was reported. Operational detail was not published.
