- Data processed within India.
- Data processed overseas but offering goods/services to individuals in India.

The Act outlines rights for data principals, obligations for data fiduciaries, penalties for non-compliance, and requirements for Significant Data Fiduciaries. It also mandates verifiable consent for children and persons with disabilities.
