Exporting AI Training Data From India: What Global Buyers Should Know
Sourcing training data from an India-based vendor involves practical and compliance considerations that don't come up when working with domestic providers — understanding cross-border data transfer, DPDP compliance, and tax treaties upfront ensures seamless project execution.
Key Compliance & Regulatory Frameworks
- DPDP Act Alignment: Governs how personal data is collected and consented to within India, establishing purpose limitation and individual rights.
- Buyer Jurisdiction Rules: GDPR for EU labs and HIPAA for US healthcare models must be harmonized into the field consent protocols.
- Cross-Border Data Transfer: Clear contractual terms defining storage location, encryption standards, and deletion obligations.
