About this skill
About DPDP Act readiness check
India's Digital Personal Data Protection Rules bring their main duties into force in May 2027, and most startups don't know where they stand. This skill assesses your practices against the core obligations — notice, consent, purpose limitation, children's data, security safeguards, breach notification, retention and handling people's rights — marking each in place, partial or missing. Gaps are prioritised with an owner and first action. It cites sections where it can, says when it's unsure and leaves the final call to counsel. To use it, paste the skill into your assistant and send a description of what personal data you process, how you collect consent, and your current privacy practices.
