Frequently asked questions

Does DPDP apply to our offline paper logs for factory visitors?

Yes, if you eventually scan these logs or enter the names into a computer system. You must secure these paper records and ensure they are not left visible to other visitors or unauthorized staff.

Can we still use facial recognition for automated attendance?

Yes, but you must get a clear "yes" from every employee specifically for the use of their facial data. You cannot stop someone from working just because they prefer a traditional punch-card or physical ID over a facial scan.

Are we responsible if our third-party transport vendor leaks driver data?

Yes, because you are the Data Fiduciary who collected the driver's information first. You must update your contracts with transport companies to include specific data handling rules and the right to audit their systems.
