Read the actual law once, at least the consent and notice sections, so you are not relying on someone else's paraphrase. Section 6 spells out what counts as valid consent (free, specific, informed, unconditional) and it is shorter and plainer than most Indian statutes. Skimming the actual text takes twenty minutes and settles arguments with cofounders faster than a blog post.
