DPDP Compliance

Connection Chronicles is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP), India’s comprehensive data protection law. This page explains how we comply with the DPDP and how you can exercise your rights as a data principal.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While Connection Chronicles does not collect personal data through user registration or accounts, we may process limited personal data through automated means such as website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This data is collected solely for improving user experience and understanding audience preferences.

Your Rights Under DPDP

As a data principal, you have the following rights under the DPDP:

• Right to access your digital personal data processed by us
• Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure of your data, where consent is withdrawn or purpose is fulfilled
• Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated

Note: These rights apply only to data that can be identified as belonging to you, and are limited by the nature of our informational website.

How We Comply

Connection Chronicles complies with the DPDP by:

• Collecting only essential data for operational purposes
• Not storing personal data in identifiable databases
• Using third-party analytics tools that anonymize data where possible
• Providing clear mechanisms for you to exercise your rights

Data We Process

Under the DPDP, we may process the following types of digital personal data:

• IP addresses (anonymized where feasible)
• Browser type and device information
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Cookie identifiers for session management

This data is not linked to your name, phone number, email, or other direct identifiers unless voluntarily provided through a contact form.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of digital personal data is based on legitimate interest under Section 4 of the DPDP, specifically to ensure website functionality, improve content relevance, and enhance user experience for our Indian audience.

1. Your full name
2. A description of the data you wish to access, correct, or erase
3. Proof of identity (e.g., a copy of a government-issued ID or a signed declaration)

We will respond to your request within 30 days.

Response Timeframes

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

No Discrimination Policy

We will not deny you access to our content, charge you fees, or provide you with inferior service because you exercised your rights under the DPDP.
