DPDP Compliance
At Toxic Medicine Insights, we are committed to protecting your digital personal data in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), India’s comprehensive data protection law. This page explains how we comply with your rights under the DPDP Act and the limited data we process as an informational blog.
Scope and Applicability
The DPDP Act applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While Toxic Medicine Insights does not collect personal data through user registration or accounts, we may process limited digital personal data automatically, such as IP addresses, browser types, and usage patterns via third-party analytics and cookies for site functionality and performance monitoring. This data is processed solely for legitimate purposes related to providing informational content and improving user experience.
Your Rights Under the DPDP Act
Under the DPDP 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 digital personal data
- Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated
Note: These rights apply only to data that can be reasonably identified as belonging to you. Since we do not maintain user profiles or databases linking data to individuals, most requests will pertain to anonymized or aggregated data.
How We Comply
Our compliance measures include:
- Using only essential, non-intrusive cookies that do not track individuals across sites
- Employing anonymized analytics tools that do not store personally identifiable information
- Not collecting or storing names, emails, phone numbers, or other identifiers unless voluntarily submitted through our contact form
- Ensuring all third-party service providers adhere to DPDP Act requirements
Data We Process
The only digital personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
- Browser and device information (for security and compatibility)
- Pages visited and time spent on site (aggregated statistics only)
We do not process sensitive personal data as defined under the DPDP Act, such as health data, biometrics, or financial information.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of digital personal data is based on legitimate interest under Section 11(2) of the DPDP Act, specifically to:
- Maintain website functionality and security
- Improve content delivery and user experience
- Ensure compliance with legal obligations
