Document background
The Client Privacy Notice is a mandatory document required under Indian data protection laws, specifically the Information Technology (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011. It must be provided to clients before collecting their personal information and serves as a transparent disclosure of an organization's data handling practices. The notice should address all aspects of data processing, from collection to deletion, and must be easily accessible to clients. It needs regular updates to reflect changes in data practices or regulatory requirements, and forms a crucial part of an organization's compliance framework under Indian privacy laws. The document is particularly important given India's recognition of privacy as a fundamental right and the increasing global focus on data protection.
