Disclaimer

What checkDPDP is, what it isn't, and the limits of our guidance — written plainly.

Not legal advice

checkDPDP is not a law firm. Our content, scanner outputs and tools are guidance based on the DPDP Act 2023 and the DPDP Rules 2025 as we understand them. They are not legal advice. For decisions specific to your business — sectoral regulation, processor agreements, breach response — please consult a qualified data-protection lawyer.

Not affiliated with the Government of India

checkDPDP is an independent compliance platform. We are not affiliated with the Government of India, MeitY, the Data Protection Board, or any regulator. We do not claim to be a registered Consent Manager or any other Board-registered intermediary. If we ever obtain such a registration, we'll disclose it here with a link to the registration itself.

Scanner limitations

The compliance scanner is automated. It reflects what is observable from the public web. It can't see inside your CRM, your processor agreements, your training, or your internal access controls. Use it as a fast triage tool, not as a substitute for a full DPDP audit.

Where a check could not be performed (rate-limited, blocked, dynamic content we couldn't reach), we mark it "couldn't verify". We never fabricate a pass or fail.

Sources

We try to cite the Act and the Rules wherever a specific obligation or penalty is referenced. The DPDP Rules are subordinate legislation and continue to evolve through MeitY notifications and Board orders — if we ever fall behind on a change, please email us and we'll fix it.

Brand & the "Secured by" badge

The checkDPDP name, logo and the "Secured by checkDPDP" mark are ours. The badge is intended only for sites with a current passing scan. Display by others is not authorised.
