DPDP Act consent notice generator

Build a plain-language consent notice that meets Section 5 of the DPDP Act, 2023: your identity, the data and purpose, how people exercise their rights and withdraw consent, and how to complain to the Data Protection Board. Fill the fields, watch it build on the right, then copy or download it. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Be specific. A vague purpose is not valid consent under Section 6.
