Data Principal vs. Data Fiduciary vs. Data Processor
In simple terms:
Data Principal: The person whose personal data is being used.
Data Fiduciary: The organization that decides why and how the data will be used.
Data Processor: A person or organization that processes data on behalf of the Data Fiduciary.
Knowing the difference between these roles helps organizations understand their responsibilities under the DPDPA and manage areas such as data privacy, consent, compliance, and vendor management.
