Common questions from procurement about DPDP-safe re-engagement

Under DPDP, consent is purpose-specific, not channel-specific by default. If your consent model and notices clearly distinguish between different channels and the customer withdraws consent only for WhatsApp offers while maintaining separate, explicit consent for email marketing, there may be a narrow argument for continuing email campaigns. However, in practice most organisations present a single marketing consent covering multiple channels, and customers reasonably expect a “stop marketing” action to halt all promotional outreach. Continuing to market on other channels in that scenario is high risk. A safer approach is to treat a withdrawal expressed through any marketing channel as a global opt-out for that marketing purpose and to design your consent UX and systems so that any channel-specific preferences are transparently explained and technically enforced.

WhatsApp Marketing under DPDP Rules 2025

For WhatsApp marketing, the retail or D2C brand is the Data Fiduciary under DPDP; WhatsApp, BSPs, CRMs, and agencies act as Data Processors and must be governed via contracts and controls. DPDP-grade consent for WhatsApp marketing must be explicit, purpose-specific, and documented, with a clear distinction between transactional service messages and promotional campaigns.

Common questions about DPDP-compliant WhatsApp marketing

TRAI’s existing DND and telemarketing rules were designed for traditional telecom channels such as SMS and voice, and WhatsApp currently operates under a different technical and regulatory framework. However, it would be unwise to infer that DND preferences and similar safeguards have no bearing on WhatsApp. From a risk and trust perspective, sending frequent promotional WhatsApp messages to someone who has opted out of SMS marketing can look like an attempt to bypass their expressed preferences. Regulators and the Data Protection Board may reasonably expect consistency in how you respect people’s choices across channels. Many organisations therefore choose to align their suppression logic so that core marketing opt-outs apply to both SMS and WhatsApp, even where not explicitly mandated, and document that approach as part of their privacy governance.

Common questions from procurement about DPDP-safe re-engagement

The DPDP Act covers digital personal data, which includes personal data that was originally collected offline but is later digitised and stored or processed in electronic form. This means that consent forms, feedback cards, or KYC documents collected in-store fall under DPDP once they are keyed into your CRM, scanned, or otherwise digitised. Withdrawal of consent and erasure rights apply to that data as well, subject to the same regulatory retention carve-outs. Procurement should therefore ensure that consent management and marketing platforms can handle identifiers originating from both online and offline touchpoints, and that downstream systems do not treat in-store data as outside the DPDP regime simply because the initial interaction was offline.

Common questions about DPDP-compliant WhatsApp marketing

For campaigns that promote your products or services, your organisation is the Data Fiduciary because you determine why and how customer data is used. WhatsApp, Meta entities, Business Solution Providers, marketing platforms, and agencies act as Data Processors, carrying out processing on your instructions. This means your contracts should set out clear Data Processing Agreements that reflect your fiduciary role, restrict processors to specified purposes, define retention and deletion expectations, and require appropriate security and breach reporting. When vendors present themselves as owning or controlling the customer relationship on WhatsApp, procurement should be cautious and ensure that data flows and contractual terms do not compromise your ability to fulfil DPDP obligations.

Common questions from procurement about DPDP-safe re-engagement

Contracts should make it explicit that your organisation remains the Data Fiduciary and that the vendor acts as a Data Processor (or in some cases a joint Data Fiduciary) for clearly defined purposes. Data processing agreements should describe the lawful bases relied upon, the scope of processing, retention limits, and deletion or return of data at the end of the relationship. They should require the vendor to implement technical and organisational measures that support purpose-based consent, withdrawal, suppression, and audit logging, and to notify you promptly of personal data breaches. At the same time, you should avoid clauses or marketing claims that imply the vendor “takes over” DPDP liability. Remedies, indemnities, and audit rights should be calibrated with legal advice, particularly where data is shared onward with additional processors or where you operate in regulated sectors alongside retail.
