Chandigarh Businesses
Liability Check
Chandigarh's education institutions and government-adjacent businesses handle student and citizen data — Section 9 on minors applies heavily.
Why Chandigarh Businesses is at Risk
With major universities and coaching centers, Chandigarh processes large volumes of student data — including minors. Section 9 of DPDP 2023 strictly prohibits tracking, behavioral monitoring, and targeted advertising directed at children. Coaching institutes that profile student performance and share it with parents via WhatsApp groups may be in violation.
Common Violations
- 1.Coaching centers sharing student performance data in WhatsApp groups without consent.
- 2.Educational apps tracking minor usage patterns without verifiable parental consent.
- 3.Government-adjacent services retaining Aadhaar numbers without mandatory encryption.
The Immediate Fix
Implement **age gating** on all student-facing platforms. Get verifiable parental consent before processing any data of users under 18. Stop sharing student data via WhatsApp — use a secure portal instead.
