Consent manager
A person registered with the Data Protection Board through which a data principal can give, manage, review and withdraw consent, from 13 November 2026.
A consent manager is a person registered with the Data Protection Board of India that acts as a single point of contact through which a data principal can give, manage, review and withdraw consent to the processing of her personal data. It is defined in section 2(g) of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and section 6(9) provides for it.
Consent managers start before everyone else. Section 6(9) and rule 4 of the Digital Personal Data Protection Rules, 2025, which carries the registration and obligations of a consent manager with the conditions in the First Schedule, both come into force on 13 November 2026, a year ahead of the main duties on 13 May 2027. The register has to exist before a data fiduciary can point a data principal at it. The dates are stated as at 13 November 2025.
