Coupon Campaign Data Audit
Liability Check
Every coupon campaign, every discount offer, every 'sign up for 10% off' form is a data collection point. Without verifiable, purpose-specific consent, that customer data — their name, phone, email, buying habits — is processed illegally under DPDP, inviting penalties up to ₹250 Crore.
Why Coupon Campaign Data Audit is at Risk
Your 'get 20% off' sign-up forms are more than just lead generators; they're **data fiduciaries** collecting personal data. Under DPDP, every piece of **personal data** (name, email, phone, location) collected via these campaigns requires explicit, purpose-specific consent. If you're using this data for WhatsApp marketing, CRM syncing, or sharing with logistics and marketing partners (common for D2C brands in India), you need separate, documented consent for each purpose. The Data Principal's 'notice of processing' must clearly state *who* accesses their data and *why*, or your entire campaign data ecosystem is non-compliant.
Common Violations
- 1.Collecting name, email, and phone for a discount code, then using it for generic newsletters and SMS marketing without separate consent.
- 2.Sharing customer data from a coupon campaign with third-party logistics or marketing partners (e.g., Facebook Ads, Dunzo) without specific, explicit consent.
- 3.Sending unsolicited WhatsApp marketing messages to users who only signed up for a single discount coupon, violating 'purpose limitation'.
The Immediate Fix
Immediately audit all active and past coupon campaign signup forms and their corresponding privacy notices. Ensure that consent captured aligns explicitly with *all* intended data uses, including sharing with partners and subsequent marketing channels like WhatsApp. Update your consent mechanisms to be granular and verifiable.
