    Solution

    Explanation: The Data Fiduciary is defined under the DPDP Act, 2023 as the person (or entity) who determines the purpose and means of processing personal data. This is similar to the concept of a "data controller" in international laws like the GDPR. The Data Processor , in contrast, processes data on behalf of the Data Fiduciary. The Data Principal is the individual to whom the personal data relates.
