Terms of Use

01Using this website

By using dpdp-compliance.in you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. These terms apply together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Notice and, for the scanner, the scanner privacy section.

02What this website is, and is not

DPDP Compliance is an independent educational resource about India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of India, the Data Protection Board of India or any government authority. Nothing on the site is legal advice, and nothing creates a lawyer–client relationship. Laws, rules and guidance change; verify anything important against the official Act, Rules and Board notifications, and speak to a qualified lawyer about your own situation.

03Accuracy and no warranty

We try to keep content accurate and show when each page was last reviewed, but we cannot promise that it is complete or current. The content and tools are provided “as is”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.

04Acceptable use

Please do not use the site to break the law, to attack or overload it, to scrape it in a way that harms its operation, to try to gain access to anything that is not public, or to misrepresent its content as official or as your own.

05Our content

The text, structure and design of this site belong to DPDP Compliance unless stated otherwise. You may read it, link to it, and quote short extracts with attribution and a link to the source page. To republish or reproduce larger parts, please ask first at dpdpcompliances@gmail.com. The Act and Rules themselves are public documents of the Government of India; we link to the official texts and reproduce nothing as a substitute for them.

06Terms for the Website Risk Scanner

The scanner is a free tool. By using it you confirm and agree that:

• You are entitled to scan the site you submit. Submit only websites you own, operate, or have permission to assess. Do not use the scanner to probe sites for weaknesses or to build material against others.
• Results are indicators, not findings of law. The scanner reviews public pages and records signals. Its report is not a legal opinion, an audit, a certification or a statement that a site does or does not comply with the DPDP Act. A low indicator does not mean a site is compliant. See the methodology and limits.
• Use is rate-limited. To keep the tool available to everyone, we limit scans per visitor and per website, and we may refuse or stop a scan, or block misuse, without notice.
• Do not submit personal data. The questionnaire is for self-assessment answers only; please do not enter personal data about yourself or others.
• Site owners may opt out. The scanner follows robots.txt and identifies itself. See how to block it, or write to dpdpcompliances@gmail.com.
• Reports are temporary. They are deleted automatically after a short period; download or save what you need.

07Links to other websites

We link to official sources and other websites for convenience. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices.

08Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, DPDP Compliance is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or reliance on, the website, its content or its tools, including decisions taken about compliance. Nothing in these terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.

09Changes

We may update these terms; the review date at the top of this page shows when they were last checked. Continued use after a change means you accept the updated terms.

10Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India.
