DPDP Compliance

Explore India Tourism 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 are protected under this law, even though we do 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 Explore India Tourism does not require users to register or provide personal information, we may collect limited, non-identifiable data automatically through website analytics and cookies for operational and statistical purposes. This page outlines how we handle such data in compliance with the DPDP.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

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

Please note: Since we do not collect personal data through forms, accounts, or identifiable tracking, most of these rights apply only if you have voluntarily provided data via contact forms or emails.

How We Comply

Explore India Tourism complies with the DPDP by:

• Not collecting personal data unless voluntarily submitted through contact forms
• Using analytics tools that anonymize IP addresses and do not store personally identifiable information
• Ensuring all third-party services we use (e.g., Google Analytics) comply with DPDP requirements
• Not selling, sharing, or monetizing any personal data

Data We Process

We may process the following types of data under DPDP:

• IP addresses (anonymized)
• Browser type and device information (for analytics)
• Pages visited and time spent on site (aggregated, non-personal)
• Any personal data voluntarily submitted via our contact form (e.g., name, email)

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of data is based on:

• Legitimate interest for website functionality and analytics
• Consent when you voluntarily submit personal data through contact forms

We do not process sensitive personal data as defined under DPDP.
