Subscriber identities, call details, cell-site location information and usage records move through telecom networks every second, and the DPDP Act that data as personal and you are responsible for them. DPDP.ai unites consent, subscriber requests and partner supervision in one system, keeping every circle and channel audit-ready.
In the telecom industry, operators and service providers are Data Fiduciaries. The call centres, billing firms, dealers and cloud hosts working for them are Data Processors. DPDP.ai gives you a single platform to carry out those duties across all channels and partners.
KYC files, call records, location and service usage details are scattered in billing, CRM, network and analytics tools. DPDP.ai finds and classifies them, then maps each to its system, owner, purpose and retention period.
Retail stores, apps, IVR, USSD and call centres each collect consent their own way. DPDP.ai issues purpose-based notices in many languages and records every approval and withdrawal in one ledger that updates connected systems at once.
Consent Manager registration opens on 13 November 2026, and telecom operators must meet the DPDP obligations from 13 May 2027. DPDP.ai's modules let you start with consent for each subscriber and grow from there.
Licence conditions and telecom laws still apply alongside the DPDP Act. Data flow monitoring shows which personal data leaves your environment and who gets it, so each flow can be checked against both.
Telecom operators share customer data with dealers, retail agents and call centres, needing checks for everyone. dpdp.ai brings all those checks into one place.
A violation can cost up to ₹250 crore, based on the duty missed, and operators are likely candidates for Significant Data Fiduciary status. DPDP.ai cuts that risk with controls you can evidence.
Old systems, millions of subscribers and wide dealer networks make DPDP compliance tough for telecoms. These gaps appear first.
Contact SalesSubscriber details are held in billing, CRM, network, KYC and analytics platforms built in different eras.
Telecom operators collect customer data through stores, apps, IVR and call centres, each following its own process, bringing gaps in DPDP compliance.
Telecom operators rely on a vast network of third-party retailers to collect identity documents. So, each retailer handles sensitive customer data bringing safety issues and inconsistencies.
Network and device data shows subscribers’ movement and behaviour, so telecoms must set a clear purpose and a firm retention limit for that information.
Telecom operators send promotions, sell services and share data with partners. Each of these needs the subscriber's clear consent, and the data should only be used for the purpose they agreed to.
Telecom operators serve millions of subscribers, so access, correction and erasure requests arrive in large numbers. A single breach can also affect a huge number of people at once.
