DPDP Compliance
Deep Discoveries of India is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), India’s landmark legislation governing the processing of digital personal data. This page explains how we comply with the DPDP Act and how you can exercise your rights as a data principal.
Scope and Applicability
The DPDP Act applies to the processing of digital personal data within India, and also to processing outside India if it relates to Indian data principals. While Deep Discoveries of India does not collect personal data through user registration or accounts, we may process limited digital personal data through automated means such as website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This data includes IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns, collected solely for improving user experience and site performance.
Your Rights Under the DPDP Act
As a data principal, you have the following rights under the DPDP Act:
- Right to access: You may request confirmation of whether your digital personal data is being processed and obtain a summary of such data.
- Right to correction: You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
- Right to deletion: You may request deletion of your digital personal data, subject to legal obligations.
- Right to grievance redressal: You may file a complaint if you believe your rights have been violated.
How We Comply
Deep Discoveries of India complies with the DPDP Act by:
- Collecting only the minimum digital personal data necessary for legitimate purposes
- Not storing personal data beyond what is required for analytics and site functionality
- Using secure, privacy-compliant third-party services for analytics and cookies
- Providing clear notice of data collection through our Privacy Policy
- Not selling, renting, or sharing personal data for commercial purposes
Data We Process
The only digital personal data we process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies for functionality and analytics
This data is processed solely for improving website performance, user experience, and content relevance. No sensitive personal data (such as biometrics, health, religion, or financial information) is collected.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of digital personal data is based on legitimate interest under Section 5(2) of the DPDP Act. We have a legitimate interest in understanding how users interact with our website to provide better travel guides and ensure the site functions effectively. This interest is balanced against your rights and freedoms, and we do not process data for profiling or automated decision-making.
