Section 14Rights and Duties of Data Principal
Right to nominate
Official statutory text · Gazette of India
A Data Principal shall have the right to nominate any other individual to exercise her rights under this Act in the event of her death or incapacity.
Plain-language explanation
- This is a novel feature relative to most global privacy laws — DPDP explicitly lets you designate a nominee to step into your data rights, similar to a nominee on a bank account.
Reconstructed for readability from the publicly notified DPDP Act, 2023. Always verify exact wording against the official Gazette of India before relying on this for legal or compliance decisions.
