Education institutes process children's data every day — admissions, attendance, health records, fees, results. The DPDP Act sets its strictest rules exactly here, with penalties up to ₹200 crore for violations involving children.
Processing a minor's data requires verifiable parental consent. Tracking, behavioural monitoring and targeted advertising directed at children are prohibited.
Student data flows through ERP systems, admission portals, Excel sheets, WhatsApp groups and printouts — across teaching and admin staff.
A breach of student or parent data damages institutional trust far beyond any fine — admissions, accreditation and community standing all suffer.
Digital consent journeys for admissions and activities that verify parental identity and record evidence — compliant with the DPDP Rules for minors.
Scan ERP databases, office PCs and shared drives to map where student and parent data actually lives — including forgotten spreadsheets and old admission files.
Encryption and access control on marksheets, health records and fee data — staff access only what their role requires, with a full audit trail.
Practical training for teachers, admissions and office staff on handling student data lawfully — the front line of DPDP compliance.
The Privonta team brings years of experience building and running education ERP systems. We understand admissions, examinations, fee management and student lifecycle data from the inside — so compliance is designed around how institutes actually work, including integration with SUMS ERP and other campus systems.
