DPDP Compliance

The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) is India’s landmark legislation governing the processing of digital personal data. This page explains how NewStreet.in complies with the DPDP and outlines your rights as a data principal.

Scope and Applicability

NewStreet.in is an informational blog platform that provides insights into Indian society and business. We do not require user registration, collect personal data through forms, or maintain a database of identifiable individuals. Any personal data processed is limited to automatically collected information such as IP addresses, browser type, and usage patterns via third-party analytics tools, all of which are processed in compliance with the DPDP.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you, as a data principal, have the following rights:

  • Right to access your digital personal data held by us
  • Right to correction or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Right to withdrawal of consent for any processing based on consent
  • Right to grievance redressal if you believe your data has been processed unlawfully
  • Right to nominate another individual to act on your behalf in case of death or incapacity

How We Comply

NewStreet.in adheres to the DPDP by:

  • Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for website functionality
  • Using only trusted, DPDP-compliant third-party analytics providers
