Consent Manager (India DPDP) — India DPDP Act
ما هو Consent Manager (India DPDP)?
هذا المصطلح متوفر حاليًا باللغة الإنجليزية فقط.
A Consent Manager is the registered intermediary defined by India's DPDP Act 2023 through which a data principal gives, manages, and revokes consent. It issues tamper-evident, Kantara-style signed Consent Receipts — ECDSA P-256 signatures over canonical JSON. Orbit verifies each receipt's signature against the manager's registered public key before anything persists; a failed check returns 422 CONSENT_RECEIPT_INVALID, while structurally degenerate receipts fail earlier as 422 VALIDATION_ERROR.
More detail
Orbit models the Consent Manager directly in your tenant-owned consent registry — you register the manager and its public key, and the platform verifies each receipt's signature before it stores anything. That register-first check is what makes a failed verification a tenant-resolvable signing-mismatch rather than a platform bug.
India's DLT regime uses a 'Consent Manager' concept of its own for sender and entity registration on the per-carrier ledger — a different thing entirely. The DPDP meaning here is the data-protection intermediary issuing signed receipts, so keep the two regimes distinct when wiring India compliance.
الأسئلة الشائعة
- Is a Consent Manager the same as DLT?
- No. DLT is India's telemarketing registration framework (entity, header, and template records on a per-carrier ledger); a DPDP Consent Manager is the data-protection intermediary that issues signed Consent Receipts. Both matter for India, but they govern different regimes and both are registered as tenant-owned controls in Orbit.
- Why do receipts need register-first verification?
- Orbit keeps each receipt untrusted until it checks the ECDSA P-256 signature against the manager's public key in your tenant-owned registry. Only receipts that verify are stored as consent; the rejected ones return 422 CONSENT_RECEIPT_INVALID, so you resolve the signing mismatch instead of getting silent bad data.
- What does 'structurally degenerate' mean?
- A receipt missing required fields or carrying malformed JSON fails the payload-shape validation before any signature check runs, and Orbit returns 422 VALIDATION_ERROR. Signature verification only runs on a receipt that passed shape validation, so 422 CONSENT_RECEIPT_INVALID means the receipt was well-formed but the signed bytes did not match the registered public key.
