Terms of Use and Service

1. Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use and Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

2. Nature of the service

This site provides educational information about India’s Digital Personal Data Protection framework, interactive self-assessment tools, and pathways for organisations to pursue DPDP compliance goals. Where you request help implementing controls, the site may facilitate an introduction to specialised compliance and security vendors in its service catalogue. Use of those vendors is subject to separate agreements between you and the vendor.

3. No legal advice

Content on this website, including timelines, penalty summaries, FAQs, and Need Assessor results, is for general information only. It does not constitute legal advice, a legal opinion, regulatory guidance, or a determination of your obligations under the DPDP Act or any other law. You should obtain advice from qualified legal counsel for your facts and sector.

4. Accuracy and updates

We endeavour to keep information current, but statutes, rules, and notifications may change. Always verify critical dates and obligations against the Official Gazette and primary sources. We may update, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site without notice.

5. Permitted use

You may browse, share links, and use the Need Assessor for your organisation’s internal planning. You must not misuse the site, attempt to disrupt it, scrape it in a way that impairs service, misrepresent affiliation with Government of India, or use content to create a false impression that this site is an official government publication.

6. Vendor introductions

Requests submitted through contact forms or assessor follow-ups may be routed to delivery partners capable of helping with DPDP alignment (consent, safeguards, governance, and related controls). We do not guarantee that a vendor will accept an engagement, quote a price, or achieve a particular compliance outcome. Commercial terms are solely between you and the selected vendor.

7. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, site design, compilation, and original explanatory content are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. Official Act and Rules text remains subject to Government of India copyright and publication terms. You may not copy substantial site content for commercial republication without permission.

8. Disclaimer of warranties

The site is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site operator and its officers, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, goodwill, or business opportunity arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content, including Need Assessor outputs or vendor introductions.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site operator from claims arising out of your misuse of the site, your breach of these terms, or your reliance on site content without independent professional advice.

11. Third-party links

Links to Official Gazette materials, government publications, or other external resources are provided for convenience. We are not responsible for third-party content or practices.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Courts at Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, shall have exclusive jurisdiction, subject to mandatory provisions of applicable law.

13. Changes

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
