The Digital Personal Data Protection (Removal of Difficulties) Order, 2026 corrects the child and disability consent provision to require verifiable consent before processing personal data of a child or of a person with disability who has a lawful guardian. It also replaces "audit" with "data audit" in the periodic-audit obligation applicable to Significant Data Fiduciaries, aligning that obligation with the requirement to appoint an independent data auditor. These textual corrections apply from 6 October 2026, the date of Gazette publication.
