Liability Check
🎒
Pune's education and auto sectors must be wary of Minors' Data. Processing data of anyone under 18 requires strict verifiable parental consent.
Why Pune Startups is at Risk
Pune is an education hub. The DPDP Act has strict protections for children. You cannot track, behaviorally monitor, or show targeted ads to children. Consent for minors must be 'verifiable' and come from a parent/guardian. The 2025 Rules specify technical measures for age verification.
Common Violations
- 1.Assuming a user is an adult without age-gating.
- 2.Processing student data for marketing third-party courses.
- 3.Tracking student behavior on apps to build profiles for ad targeting (strictly prohibited).
The Immediate Fix
Implement **Age Gating**. If your users are under 18, disable all tracking and targeted advertising immediately. Set up a 'Verifiable Parental Consent' mechanism using token-based identification.
