The personal data you handle
A quick reality check. If any of this looks familiar, the DPDP Act applies to you.
Why DPDP applies to HR, Staffing & Recruitment
Employees and candidates are data principals with full rights. The DPDP Act requires notice at the point of collection, minimisation, secure handling and retention limits — including for the large volume of rejected-candidate data that HR tends to keep forever.
Sector note: Beyond DPDP: sensitivity of background-check and health data, and DPAs where staffing firms share candidate data with clients.
What to keep in mind
The points that cause most of the DPDP exposure in HR, Staffing & Recruitment.
Notice at collection
Tell candidates and employees what you collect and why, at the point you collect it — not buried in an offer letter.
Background checks are sensitive
Verification and health/leave data need consent, strong safeguards and tight access.
Delete rejected candidates
Holding unsuccessful applicants indefinitely is over-retention. Set a defined period and purge.
Staffing = sharing
Placing candidates with clients means sharing their data — get consent and sign DPAs with each client.
