LoEstro EdTalks : Episode 5 | Navigating Data Privacy Obligations in Educational Institutions

India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is now a reality — and educational institutions are squarely in its scope. Non-compliance isn't just a legal risk; penalties can reach up to ₹250 crore. In this session of LoEstro EdTalks, we are joined by Aparna Gaur, Partner at Trace Law Partners — a technology, education, and data protection expert with hands-on experience advising institutions on navigating India's evolving privacy landscape. Our speaker covers: → How the DPDPA applies to schools, universities, and EdTech platforms — and what counts as personal data → Handling youth and minor data, including verifiable parental consent requirements → Auditing third-party vendor apps, payment gateways, and campus security ecosystems safely → Updating enrolment forms, privacy notices, and structuring data breach response protocols If you are a school promoter, university vice-chancellor, institution head, or operations lead, this session is designed for you. 🔔 Subscribe for more sessions from LoEstro EdTalks — a knowledge series built exclusively for education leaders across India. 📩 For advisory enquiries, reach us at: connectwithus@loestro.com 🌐 Visit us at: https://www.loestro.com/ #dpdpact #dataprivacy #k12education #LoEstroEdutalks #educationlaw #DataProtectionIndia #SchoolCompliance #edtech #dataprotection #indianeducation
