What we check

Ten categories, mapped to the DPDP Act

Each check links to a specific obligation. We tell you what we found, why it matters, and how to fix it.

Cookie consent banner

Granular, prior consent with reject as easy as accept — no pre-ticked boxes, no dark patterns.

Privacy / consent notice

A clear notice in plain language listing purposes, categories of personal data and how to exercise rights.

Consent withdrawal

An obvious mechanism to withdraw consent — and it must be as easy as giving it in the first place.

Data collection transparency

All forms, trackers and integrations that collect personal data are disclosed before collection.

Third-party trackers

No analytics, ads or pixels load before the user opts in. Reject = nothing fires.

Grievance officer / contact

A Grievance Officer or contact point is published, with an SLA for response.

Data Principal rights

Access, correction, erasure, nomination and grievance — all reachable in one place.

Cross-border transfer disclosure

If data leaves India, the notice says where and why — and the destination is not on the blacklist.

Children & age-gate

Verifiable parental consent for users under 18. No behavioural tracking, no targeted ads.

Security signals

HTTPS, modern headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type), and no obvious leakage of personal data.

How it works

How to run a free DPDP scan in three steps

No signup, no account, no credit card. The scan runs server-side and returns a 0–100 DPDP Act 2023 compliance score inside 60 seconds.

  1. 01

    Paste your website URL

    Any public Indian website. The scanner only reads what a browser sees on a normal page load — no auth bypass, no payload sent.

  2. 02

    Scan runs server-side

    The crawler fetches home + privacy + cookie + grievance + rights pages, runs ~40 deterministic checks plus heuristic analysis, then refines the narrative with an LLM. Every finding cites a DPDP section.

  3. 03

    Read the report + download PDF

    0–100 score, a 10-category Pass/Warn/Fail breakdown, the exact one-sentence fix for each gap, and a downloadable PDF report you can share with your compliance team.

Why this scanner

What makes this a free DPDP scanner you can trust

Built for the DPDP Act, not retrofitted from GDPR

Every check is mapped to a named section of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 or the Rules notified by MeitY in November 2025. Sections 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 16 — cited by number on every finding.

Free without a catch

No signup, no credit card, no per-scan limit, no premium tier behind the scanner. A one-person founder and an enterprise compliance team get the same 10-category report.

Deterministic scoring — the AI cannot drift the score

Pass / Warn / Fail and the 0–100 number are decided by hand-coded heuristics over the crawl data. The optional LLM only refines the written narrative; it never moves the score.

Indian recommendations only

When the scanner suggests a consent platform, it points to India-built or India-aligned CMPs (Tsaaro, CookieYes, Privado.ai). No foreign-vendor pitch.

Honest by design

Some ground rules for the scanner

No fake passes

If a check couldn't actually be performed (e.g. the page blocked us), we mark it 'couldn't verify' — never a silent pass.

No fake counters

We don't display fabricated 'X sites scanned today' numbers. When we publish stats, they'll be real.

Badge has to be earned

The 'Secured by checkDPDP' badge is reserved for sites that have actually passed a scan — not anyone who pastes the snippet.

Common questions

What people ask about the scanner

Quick answers to the questions we get most about how the free DPDP scan works.

How do I run a free DPDP scan on my website?

Paste your website URL into the form above and press Scan. The free DPDP scanner fetches the public-facing pages, runs ~40 deterministic checks plus heuristic page-content analysis, and returns a 0–100 DPDP Act 2023 compliance score with a 10-category gap report — usually inside 60 seconds. No signup, no account, no credit card.

How long does a free DPDP scan take?

Most scans return results in 10–18 seconds. The crawler fetches up to five pages (home + privacy + cookie + grievance + rights) with an 8-second timeout each, then runs heuristic analysis plus an LLM-refined narrative. Worst case is 60 seconds — beyond that the scan is cancelled and you can re-run.

Can I scan a competitor or any third-party website?

Yes. The scanner only reads publicly-fetched HTML, HTTP headers and policy pages — exactly what any browser sees on a normal page load. It does not bypass authentication, attempt login, or send any payload to the target site. You can scan competitors, partners, vendors or your own properties for free.

Does the DPDP scanner work for SaaS, fintech, healthtech and e-commerce sites?

Yes. The scanner is industry-agnostic for the core 10 DPDP categories. For sector overlays (BFSI under RBI, healthtech under HIPAA-equivalent rules, e-commerce under consumer-protection rules), pair the scan with the industry guide at /industries — each sector has a dedicated DPDP exposure profile.

Is the checkDPDP scanner really free?

Yes. The full 10-category scan returns a 0–100 score and per-category findings with no signup, no credit card and no usage cap. We do not store the URL you scanned or its content. There is no premium tier hidden behind the scanner — the same scan that runs for a one-person founder runs for an enterprise compliance team.

What is the best free DPDP scanner in India?

checkDPDP is the only free DPDP scanner built specifically for the Indian Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 and the Rules 2025 — not a generic GDPR scanner re-skinned for India. Every check is mapped to a named DPDP section (5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 16) and the recommendations point to India-built consent management platforms (Tsaaro, CookieYes, Privado.ai) rather than US/EU tools that may not fit the Indian regulatory mandate.

Does the free DPDP scanner check the DPDP Act 2023 and Rules 2025?

Yes. The scanner is anchored to the Act and the November 2025 Rules. It checks for: Section 5 privacy notice itemisation, Section 6 consent UX, Section 6(4) withdrawal equality, Section 8(5) reasonable security safeguards, Section 8(10) Grievance Officer publication, Section 9 children-data treatment, Sections 11–14 data principal rights, and Section 16 cross-border transfer disclosure. Every finding cites the section by number.

How accurate is the DPDP compliance scan?

The scanner runs ~40 deterministic technical checks (HTTPS, HSTS, CSP, consent banner presence, pre-consent tracker fires, grievance officer disclosure, etc.) plus heuristic page-content analysis. It surfaces what is verifiable from the public-facing site — it cannot inspect backend records, vendor contracts, or DPIAs. For a full audit of those, use Free Audit. Realistic catch rate on Indian sites is ~85% for static and server-rendered pages; full SPAs are lower due to client-side hydration.

What happens after I get my score?

Every gap links to a plain-English fix and, where useful, a free tool — banner builder, privacy notice generator, DPA template, breach notification template. You can also book a follow-up audit, ask the DPDP AI assistant, or apply for a publicly verifiable DPDP-Verified certificate.

Does scanning my site share data with anyone?

No. The scan runs server-side, results are returned to your browser, and we do not log the URL, the content or any personal data. We do not sell or share scan data with vendors or any third party.
