DPDP Compliance

Effective as of June 2024, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) governs the processing of digital personal data in India. This page outlines how European Confluence of Indian Medicine complies with the DPDP and explains your rights as a data principal.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While European Confluence of Indian Medicine 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 tools and cookies for site functionality and performance improvement. This processing is limited to non-identifiable or aggregated data where possible, and we do not store personal data in databases.

Your Rights Under DPDP

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

• Right to access information about your personal data being processed
• Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure of your personal data
• Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated

These rights apply only to data that can be reasonably identified as belonging to you. Since our website does not collect personally identifiable information through forms or accounts, most rights may not be applicable in practice.

How We Comply

European Confluence of Indian Medicine complies with the DPDP by:

• Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for site operation
• Using anonymized analytics tools where possible
• Providing clear cookie notices and opt-out mechanisms
• Not selling, sharing, or transferring personal data to third parties without consent
• Ensuring all third-party service providers adhere to DPDP standards

Data We Process

We may process the following types of digital personal data:

• IP addresses (anonymized where feasible)
• Browser and device information
• Usage patterns via cookies and analytics
• Voluntary contact form submissions (name, email, message)

All such data is processed solely for website functionality, security, and improving user experience. No sensitive personal data is collected.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of digital personal data is based on:

• Consent for cookies and analytics tools
• Legitimate interest in maintaining website performance and security
• Contractual necessity when you voluntarily submit a contact form
