DPDP Act 2023: What It Means for HR Technology

Understanding the DPDP Act

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, reshapes how HR teams collect and process candidate data. Ignorance is no longer an excuse.

Key Principles for HR

• Purpose Limitation: You can only use data for the specific purpose of hiring for the applied role.
• Data Minimization: Collect only what you strictly need. Do you really need that date of birth at the application stage?
• Notice & Consent: Candidates must know exactly what data is being collected and why.

Impact on Video Interviews

Recording interviews requires explicit consent. Storing these recordings requires robust security. PrepTalk automates this compliance layer, ensuring you never inadvertently break the law.
