OTT platforms are sitting on goldmines of user viewing habits, payment details, and device data. This extensive profiling for content recommendations makes them prime targets for DPDP scrutiny, often classifying them as 'Significant Data Fiduciaries'.

Why OTT & Streaming Platforms is at Risk

From personalized content recommendations to targeted advertising, OTT platforms extensively profile their users. This involves collecting vast amounts of personal data: **viewing history**, **search queries**, **payment information**, and **device identifiers**. The sheer volume, sensitive nature, and continuous processing of this data means most major OTT players will likely be classified as **Significant Data Fiduciaries** under DPDP. This classification triggers a cascade of strict obligations, including mandatory Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA), independent audits, and a resident Data Protection Officer (DPO) – all crucial to avoid hefty penalties.
