DPDP Compliance

Guardian of All Wagging Tails (GAWVs) is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP). This page explains how we comply with India's data protection law and how you can exercise your rights.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data of individuals in India. While GAWVs does not maintain a user registration system or store personal data in a database, we may collect limited, non-identifiable information through website analytics and cookies to improve our content and user experience. This page outlines how such data is handled under the DPDP.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

• Right to access your digital personal data held by us
• Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
• Right to erasure of your data
• Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated

Note: These rights apply only if you have voluntarily provided identifiable personal data through contact forms or other direct interactions.

How We Comply

GAWVs complies with the DPDP by:

• Collecting only minimal data necessary for communication or feedback
• Not storing personal data beyond what is required for the intended purpose
• Ensuring all data collection is transparent and consensual
• Not sharing data with third parties unless legally required

Data We Process

We may process the following types of data, only when voluntarily provided by you:

• Name
• Email address
• Messages submitted via contact forms

We do not collect or store sensitive personal data, location data, or browsing behavior beyond basic analytics (e.g., page views, session duration) that cannot be linked to an identifiable individual.

Legal Basis for Processing

Under the DPDP, we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing any personal data you voluntarily submit. Consent is obtained when you fill out a contact form or submit feedback. You may withdraw consent at any time.

Response Timeframes

We will respond to your request within 30 days of receipt, as required by the DPDP. If additional time is needed, we will notify you with a reason and estimated timeline.

No Discrimination Policy

You will not be denied services, charged different prices, or receive a lower quality of service for exercising your rights under the DPDP.
