DPDP Compliance
Community Connections Hub 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 as a data principal.
Scope and Applicability
The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data of individuals in India. While Community Connections Hub does not collect or store personal data through user registration or forms, we may process limited, non-identifiable data through automated means such as website analytics and server logs. This page outlines our compliance with the DPDP in relation to such processing.

- Right to access your digital personal data processed by us
- Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to deletion of your data
- Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated
- Right to nominate another individual to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity
How We Comply
Community Connections Hub complies with the DPDP by:
- Not collecting or storing any personally identifiable information without explicit consent
- Using only anonymized or aggregated data for analytics purposes
- Implementing reasonable security safeguards to protect data from unauthorized access
- Ensuring all third-party service providers (e.g., analytics tools) comply with DPDP requirements
Data We Process
We may process the following types of digital personal data:
- IP addresses (anonymized)
- Browser type and device information (for technical functionality)

No names, emails, phone numbers, or other identifiers are collected or stored.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of digital personal data is based on legitimate interest under Section 10 of the DPDP, specifically to ensure website functionality, improve user experience, and maintain security. We do not process sensitive personal data.
