As India transitions into the era of digital sovereignty under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023, MRC Legal provides robust frameworks for compliance and redressal. Our clients include tech startups, multinational corporations, data fiduciaries, fintech firms, and individuals facing cyber disputes or digital rights violations.

• DPDP Compliance: Comprehensive support in drafting privacy policies, data processing agreements, user consent notices, and impact assessments. We help entities meet their obligations under the DPDP Act, including appointment of Data Protection Officers (DPOs), implementing data security safeguards, managing consent withdrawal, and compliance audits.
• Cross-border Data Flows: Advisory on lawful international data transfers, adequacy decisions, contractual clauses, and risk assessments. We work with global clients to navigate jurisdictional overlaps between the DPDP Act, GDPR, and APAC privacy regulations.
• Grievance Redressal: Representation before the concerned authority and tribunals, before the newly constituted Data Protection Board of India, formulation of internal grievance redress mechanisms, and enforcement of data subject rights (such as the right to correction, erasure, and access). We assist in breach notification processes and help mitigate regulatory penalties.
• IT Act Matters: Legal remedy and defense in matters involving cyberbullying, digital defamation, phishing, ransomware attacks, data theft, and intermediary liability. We file and defend complaints under Sections 66C, 66D, 72A, and 43A of the IT Act and other provisions under the act, blending technological fluency with robust legal strategy.
• Tech Contracts: Drafting and negotiation of technology agreements including SaaS contracts, software licensing, platform terms of use, blockchain deployments, artificial intelligence model use agreements, and cloud infrastructure contracts. We ensure enforceable IP protection, data usage limits, and vendor compliance.
