The Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act affects not only organizations, but also employees and HR teams who handle personal data every day at the workplace.

Employee data includes far more than just names and salary details. Attendance records, performance reviews, background verification, health information, access logs, and HR records all form part of employee personal data. Because of this, privacy and data protection laws like the DPDP Act apply inside organizations, not just to websites and apps.

This course is designed to help employees, HR professionals, and people managers understand how the DPDP Act applies in a workplace context.

The focus of this course is awareness and understanding, not legal interpretation or compliance implementation.

In this course, you will learn:

• What privacy means in a workplace environment

• What qualifies as employee personal and sensitive data

• Why employee data needs protection under the DPDP Act

• What rights employees have over their personal data

• How consent works in common HR situations

• What organizations are broadly expected to do when handling employee data

The course explains these concepts in simple, practical language, without legal jargon or technical details. It is intended to build clarity, reduce confusion, and promote trust between employees and organizations.

This is not a compliance or certification course. It does not cover how to design privacy policies, consent systems, or privacy-by-design frameworks. Those topics require deeper and more specialized learning.

If you are an employee or work in HR and want to understand how personal data is handled at the workplace under the DPDP Act, this course will give you the right foundation.
