Delhi/NCR Businesses
Liability Check
Delhi NCR businesses relying on Cold Calling and SMS Marketing are at immediate risk. The Act strictly prohibits unsolicited processing.
Why Delhi/NCR Businesses is at Risk
The 'Delhi model' of aggressive sales via bought data lists is now illegal. The DPDP Act mandates that personal data can only be processed for a 'lawful purpose' with consent. Cold calling using numbers purchased from data brokers is a direct violation, punishable by fines up to ₹250 Cr if it leads to a breach of privacy duties.
Common Violations
- 1.Buying bulk SMS/calling databases from unregulated vendors.
- 2.Processing data for purposes other than what was consented to (e.g., using service support numbers for marketing calls).
- 3.Failing to provide a 'Notice' in English/regional language before collecting data.
The Immediate Fix
Stop buying leads immediately. Build an **organic opt-in list**. Ensure every form on your website has a clear checkbox: 'I consent to receive marketing communications'.
