3. Purpose for which consent given
4. Verbatim notice text version-stamped

Retention: until consent is withdrawn + 2 years for compliance audit.

Personal data breach → notify within 72 hours:

1. To DPB: incident details, scope, mitigation
2. To affected data principals: nature of breach, expected harm, mitigation steps
3. Even if low-risk, log internally

Failure to notify = penalty up to ₹250 crore (per §33 Schedule).

Verifiable parental consent methods:

1. Aadhaar-linked OTP to parent
2. DigiLocker-issued parent ID

No single method mandated; Fiduciary picks 'reasonable' method.

Central Government can notify restricted countries. Until notified — all destinations open.

For a Fiduciary: monitor MeitY notifications; tag data flows by destination country in your data inventory; have a contingency plan for re-routing if a destination is restricted.
