DPB Complaint Process
Eligible complaints reach the Data Protection Board under its statutory powers and procedures.
Meaning and legal context
For grievance matters, individuals must first exhaust the available redressal opportunity. The Board considers whether sufficient grounds exist; a complaint does not automatically establish a violation.
Practical application
Preserve the initial grievance, response, dates and supporting evidence.
