Why Telecom Operators & ISPs is at Risk

As custodians of India's digital backbone, Telecom Operators and ISPs handle unprecedented volumes of personal data daily. From **call data records (CDRs)** and **location tracking** to **internet browsing histories** and **billing information**, the scope of data processing is immense. Such scale and sensitivity will almost certainly classify you as a **Significant Data Fiduciary** under DPDP, necessitating annual data audits, impact assessments, and a resident Data Protection Officer. Failure to comply with consent, purpose limitation, or data retention norms can trigger massive penalties, impacting your ability to operate.
