DPDP Compliance

Tech Enthusiast's Haven is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act). This page explains how we comply with India’s first comprehensive data protection law and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP Act applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While Tech Enthusiast's Haven does not collect personal data through user registration or accounts, we may process limited digital personal data such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns via analytics and advertising tools. This processing is limited to non-identifiable, aggregated insights to improve content relevance.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the DPDP Act, you have the following rights:

  • Right to access your digital personal data we hold
  • Right to correction or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to erasure of your data
  • Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated

Note: Since we do not store personally identifiable data in a retrievable form, your rights primarily apply to data collected via third-party tools where you are directly identifiable.

How We Comply

We comply with the DPDP Act by:

  • Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for site functionality
  • Using anonymized or pseudonymized data wherever possible
  • Ensuring third-party vendors (e.g., analytics, ads) comply with DPDP requirements
  • Not selling or sharing personal data without explicit consent

Data We Process

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

  • IP addresses (temporarily logged for security and analytics)
  • Device type and browser information
  • Page visit patterns and time spent
  • Cookie identifiers (for functionality and personalization)

This data is not linked to names, emails, phone numbers, or other direct identifiers.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process data under the legal basis of legitimate interest as permitted under Section 11 of the DPDP Act. This includes improving user experience, ensuring site security, and delivering relevant content. We do not rely on consent for this limited processing.

Response Timeframes

No Discrimination Policy

We do not and will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the DPDP Act. You will not be denied access to content, charged different prices, or receive a lower quality of service for making a request.
