Get legal & compliant

What tools should I use to get DPDP-compliant without hiring a lawyer for every step?

India-built consent management platforms like Digital Anumati plug into Shopify, WooCommerce, and WordPress with one-click installs and handle the audit trail, granular consent capture, and data-rights request workflow for you, usually at a fraction of a compliance consultant's fee. If you're also selling to EU/US customers, look at a CMP that explicitly covers GDPR and CCPA alongside DPDP so you're not running two separate consent stacks. Whatever you pick, the non-negotiable feature is a legally defensible audit log, if the Data Protection Board ever asks, 'we probably had consent' isn't a defence, a timestamped record is.
