DPDP Compliance

General Knowledge for All is committed to complying with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP), India's comprehensive data protection law. This page explains how your rights under the DPDP are respected and upheld, even though this website does not collect or store personal data through user registration or databases.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While General Knowledge for All does not require users to register or submit personal information, we may collect limited, non-identifiable data through automated means such as website analytics, cookies, and server logs for operational and security purposes. This data is processed solely for legitimate purposes related to improving user experience and ensuring site functionality.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the DPDP, you have the following rights, even as a visitor to this informational website:

• Right to access information about how your digital personal data is processed
• Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure of your data, where applicable
• Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated

These rights apply only if you have provided digital personal data to us — which, in most cases, you have not. However, we honor all legitimate requests.

How We Comply

General Knowledge for All complies with the DPDP by:

• Not collecting names, emails, phone numbers, or other identifiers unless voluntarily provided through contact forms
• Using analytics tools that anonymize IP addresses and do not track individuals
• Retaining server logs only for a maximum of 90 days for security and troubleshooting
• Ensuring all third-party services we use (e.g., analytics, ads) comply with DPDP requirements

Data We Process

We may process the following types of data:

• IP addresses (anonymized)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookie identifiers (session-only, no persistent tracking)

This data is not linked to any individual and cannot be used to identify you.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of limited data is based on legitimate interest under the DPDP, specifically for:

• Maintaining website security and integrity
• Improving content delivery and user experience
• Complying with legal obligations

How to Exercise Your Rights

If you believe you have provided personal data to us (e.g., via a contact form), you may exercise your rights by contacting us at:

Email: [email protected]

Please include:

• Your full name
• Any email address or identifier you provided
• Specific right you wish to exercise (access, correction, deletion)
• Proof of identity if requested

We will respond without undue delay and within 30 days.

Response Timeframes

Under the DPDP, we are required to respond to your request within 30 days. If additional time is needed, we will notify you with reasons for the delay.

No Discrimination Policy

We will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service to you because you exercised your rights under the DPDP.

Updates and Changes

This DPDP Compliance page will be reviewed annually and updated if there are changes in the law or our data practices. Any material changes will be posted here with an updated effective date.
