Data Protection Agreement
In today’s digital economy, data is one of the most valuable business assets—and one of the most vulnerable. A Data Protection Agreement (DPA) ensures that personal and sensitive information shared between two parties is handled securely, lawfully, and transparently. Whether you’re working with vendors, software providers, employees, or clients, a DPA protects you from data leaks, misuse, compliance failures, and legal penalties. At Aarthika Globcorp, we create DPAs that comply with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), GDPR, and global privacy standards—ensuring your systems, people, and external partners follow strict data protection rules.
