We bring an implementation perspective to privacy education, professional development and industry engagement.
DPCI builds practical privacy implementation capabilities, enhances professional employability and advances digital trust through education, competency assessment, research, academic partnerships and industry collaboration.
Privacy work crosses organisational boundaries. It asks legal, technology, compliance, risk and operational teams to act together. DPCI aims to create learning and engagement opportunities that connect those perspectives.
Data Privacy Council operates as a privacy capacity-building and industry-engagement initiative of Paryoma Foundation, a Section 8 not-for-profit institution. DPCI is a private initiative and is not a government or regulatory authority.
Our long-term ambition is to develop an industry body bringing together privacy practitioners, employers, academics and institutions. Community participation, membership categories and governance arrangements are being developed.
The arrangements below describe our intended approach. They are not claims of established appointments or operational processes.
We intend to invite relevant practitioner, employer and academic perspectives to inform programme development. Appointments and advisory terms will be disclosed when confirmed.
The proposed approach includes declaration of relevant interests, management of assessor conflicts and recusal where impartiality could be affected. Detailed procedures remain to be finalised.
Training delivery and certification decisions are intended to have distinct responsibilities. Proposed assessment review and appeals arrangements will support fair, evidence-based decisions.
Our work is educational and developmental. DPCI does not confer statutory authority, authorise legal practice or guarantee employment.
We do not claim government approval, accreditation or affiliation with DSCI or Nasscom. Any future relationship will be described only when confirmed.
