How is DPDP different from GDPR?

DPDP emphasizes consent and legitimate uses over GDPR's six legal bases, sets a child age threshold of 18, uses a cross-border blacklist model, and imposes data principal duties uncommon in GDPR.

GDPR includes explicit data portability and automated decision-making rights that DPDP does not mirror fully.

Multinational programs should apply the strictest control across frameworks.
