Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before creating your document.

Does this Policy allow monitoring of employee devices and online activities?+

Yes, subject to the configured monitoring scope and device ownership model, monitoring may cover company systems and, where BYOD is allowed, corporate applications and data on personal devices, in line with data minimisation and purpose limitation principles under Indian data protection law.

Is employee consent always required for processing personal data?+

Not always. Under the DPDP Act, employers can rely on certain legitimate uses for employment-related processing and for safeguarding the organisation from loss or liability, while still providing notice and implementing safeguards. The template lets you indicate whether you rely on such legitimate uses.

How are retention periods decided in this template?+

Retention values are configurable to align with statutory record-keeping requirements, limitation periods, tax and employment laws, and internal risk policies. The template separates core HR records and routine IT logs so you can set different retention periods for each.

Can employees access and correct their personal data under this Policy?+

Yes. The template includes clauses on access and correction rights consistent with emerging Indian data protection standards, and provides contact details and escalation paths for employees to raise privacy requests and grievances.
