requirements in day-to-day operations.<\/p><ol><li>Map customer data flows<\/li><li>Identify Data Fiduciary and Data Processor roles<\/li><li>Build DPDP consent architecture<\/li><li>Review retail loyalty programmes and data policies<\/li><li>Enable access, correction, and erasure workflows<\/li><li>Apply data minimisation rules<\/li><li>Secure third-party contracts<\/li><li>Appoint a DPO where required<\/li><li>Conduct DPIA for high-risk processing<\/li><li>Test breach response readiness<\/li><\/ol><h3><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/h3><p>The DPDP Act redefines the entire process of handling personal data in the Indian retail sector across every customer interaction.<\/p><p>As the use of data in retail grows, privacy should be considered an integral part of business operations, not just a legal concern to be addressed later.<\/p><p>Mitigata helps retailers protect customer data and stay aligned with DPDP compliance through expert security and continuous monitoring, so privacy risks stay under control as the business grows.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/mitigata.com\/bookDemo\">Talk to us<\/a> now!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
