The Challenge

Why Logistics & Supply Chain Companies
Can’t Ignore DPDP

Logistics companies process personal data they often don't think of as sensitive: delivery addresses, phone numbers, GPS coordinates, driver details, and warehouse staff biometrics. Under the DPDP Act, all of this is personal data requiring consent, purpose limitation, and breach notification.

Top risk: High volume of personal data (addresses, phone numbers, GPS) processed as operational data without consent

Compliance Challenges

Logistics & Supply Chain DPDP Challenges

1

Consent for Operational Data

Delivery addresses and phone numbers are collected for order fulfilment but often retained indefinitely and shared across the logistics chain without explicit consent.

2

Driver & Warehouse Staff Data

Biometric attendance, GPS tracking, and performance monitoring of drivers and warehouse staff all constitute personal data processing under DPDP.

3

Multi-Party Data Sharing

Sellers, marketplaces, last-mile partners, and customers all share and receive personal data. Each handoff is a potential compliance gap.
