Schools handling children's sensitive personal data require explicit parental consent and face severe penalties for non-compliance under DPDP.

Why DPDP Audit for Schools is at Risk

Schools are custodians of a vast array of sensitive data, from **student records** (health, academic performance, biometric attendance) to **transport logistics** (real-time location data) and **photographs**. Under DPDP, processing children's data has stringent rules, requiring verifiable parental consent. Sharing this data with EdTech platforms, external vendors for school events, or even internal staff without proper protocols can lead to significant breaches and **penalties up to ₹250 Crore**.

Common Violations

1.Processing children's **biometric data** (e.g., fingerprint attendance, facial recognition) without explicit, verifiable parental consent.
2.Sharing student photos or academic performance data on social media or school newsletters without specific, informed parental opt-in.
3.Using third-party EdTech apps or transport tracking systems that do not have robust DPDP-compliant data processing agreements in place.

The Immediate Fix

Conduct a comprehensive audit of all data collected from students and parents. Identify all third-party vendors (EdTech, transport, photography) and ensure you have explicit, verifiable consent mechanisms for each type of data collected and shared. Update your privacy policy to clearly state data usage and sharing practices.
