Abstract: India’s digital economy is rapidly expanding, leading to the generation and processing of massive volumes of personal data. The right to privacy, affirmed as a fundamental right by the Supreme Court of India in 2017, necessitated the establishment of a legal framework for data protection. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) was introduced to address this need. This paper explores the legal rights conferred on individuals under the DPDP Act, examining the provisions for consent, data access, correction, erasure, grievance redressal, and remedies. It also assesses the effectiveness of these rights in safeguarding individual privacy in a digital society.

Keywords:Data Protection, Digital Rights, India, Privacy, Personal Data, Consent, DPDP Act, 2023.
