Consent management for India, built for the DPDPA
Notice and consent, the §9 children age-gate, easy withdrawal, grievance, and tamper-evident evidence the DPDPA asks for. Built in, not bolted on by a US or EU tool.
Consent in Hindi, with on-demand support for India's scheduled languages, so your Section 5 notice meets the language requirement.
What the DPDPA asks of you, handled
The parts of India's law that generic consent tools skip.
Notice and consent
Show a clear notice and capture free, specific, informed consent before processing personal data, with the notice available in English and the Eighth Schedule languages.
Children (§9)
Verifiable parental consent before processing a child's data, and no tracking or behavioural monitoring of children. ConsentX ships a §9 age-gate and parental flow.
Easy withdrawal
Withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it. ConsentX keeps a persistent re-open trigger and a one-call withdrawal API.
Grievance redress
Data principals can raise grievances and exercise their rights. ConsentX includes a DSAR and grievance workflow with SLA timers.
Provable evidence
The Data Protection Board can ask you to demonstrate consent. ConsentX binds each record into a tamper-evident SHA-256 hash chain you can verify.
India plus the world
Run DPDPA rules for Indian visitors and GDPR, CCPA or LGPD elsewhere, per visitor, from one dashboard with no redeploy.
Get ahead while you still set the timeline
Early movers put consent and evidence in place now, on their own terms, not under a Board notice.
DPDP Act passed
India's data protection law is enacted.
DPDP Rules published
Operational rules for notice, consent and children's data.
Consent Manager registration
Registration for the regulated Consent Manager entity opens. Most businesses just need a CMP.

DPDPA and India questions
What is the best consent management platform for India and the DPDPA?+
Look for a platform built around the DPDPA, not GDPR with India bolted on. ConsentX is DPDPA-native: it ships the §9 children age-gate and parental flow, easy withdrawal, a grievance and DSAR workflow, consent receipts, and tamper-evident evidence, and it runs the right rules for India and every other region from one dashboard.
Do I need to register as a Consent Manager under the DPDPA?+
Almost certainly not. A Consent Manager under the DPDPA is a separate registered intermediary, an India-incorporated entity with a minimum net worth that acts as a neutral, data-blind broker between data principals and multiple data fiduciaries. Most businesses are data fiduciaries and simply need a consent management platform, a tool to capture, store, withdraw and prove consent for their own users. That is what ConsentX is.
When does the DPDPA take effect, and should I act now?+
The DPDP Act passed in 2023 and the DPDP Rules were published in 2025. Consent-manager registration opens in November 2026, and data-fiduciary consent and notice obligations are landing through 2026 and 2027. Moving now means your consent and evidence are already in place before the Data Protection Board asks.
What are the penalties under the DPDPA?+
The DPDPA allows penalties of up to ₹250 crore per instance for certain breaches. ConsentX helps you comply with verifiable consent, receipts and tamper-evident evidence, though it cannot by itself guarantee compliance.
Does ConsentX support languages other than English?+
Yes. The banner and notice support multiple languages, which matters for the DPDPA requirement to offer notice in English and the languages of the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution.
Is there a free plan and how fast is setup?+
Yes. The Free plan covers one website with no credit card, and setup takes about five minutes with a single script tag or the WordPress and other platform integrations.
