Mask what partners don’t need
Couriers need to deliver the parcel, not keep the customer’s number.
Handle erasure requests properly

Questions about DPDP training for E-commerce & POS
Which DPDP obligations matter most when teams use E-commerce & POS?
Three come up again and again. First, mask what partners don’t need: Couriers need to deliver the parcel, not keep the customer’s number. Second, handle erasure requests properly: Customers can ask for their data to be erased. Support needs a process, not a workaround. Third, large platforms: purge inactive accounts: Platforms with two crore or more registered users must erase data after three years of inactivity, with 48 hours’ notice (Rule 8).
Who should take the E-commerce & POS track?
Store staff, catalogue, warehouse, support and marketing teams, and anyone else who can see addresses, phone numbers, order history, payment references or loyalty ids. Front-line staff take a short core path; anyone with admin rights over addresses goes deeper into access control, exports and breach reporting.
What situations will E-commerce & POS learners practise?
Learners work through cases such as these: A courier partner’s app keeps customer numbers after delivery. Store staff photograph customer details for a “quick follow-up”. A customer asks for their account to be deleted and support doesn’t know how. Each E-commerce & POS case asks them to choose what to do, then explains the consequence under the DPDP Act and Rules.
