DPDP
DPDP Compliance
Virtual Book Fair India (VBF) is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP). This page explains how we comply with the DPDP and how you can exercise your rights as a data principal.
Scope and Applicability
The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data within India. While VBF does not require user registration or maintain a database of personal information, we may collect limited, non-identifiable data through cookies and website analytics tools to improve user experience and site performance. This data is processed solely for legitimate business purposes and in compliance with the DPDP.
Your Rights Under DPDP
As a data principal, you have the following rights under the DPDP:
- Right to access information about your personal data processed by us
- Right to correction or updating of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to erasure of your personal data
- Right to grievance redressal if you believe your rights have been violated
Note: Since VBF does not collect personally identifiable information (PII) through user accounts, these rights primarily apply to any data collected via analytics or cookies that can be linked to an individual.
How We Comply
VBF complies with the DPDP by:
- Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary for site functionality
- Using anonymized analytics tools that do not store personally identifiable information
- Providing clear notice about data collection through our Privacy Policy
- Ensuring no data is shared with third parties for profiling or targeted advertising
Data We Process
Under the DPDP, the only data we may process includes:
- Anonymous IP addresses (used for geolocation and traffic analysis)
- Browser and device type (for compatibility and performance)
- Cookie identifiers (for session and preference management)
No names, emails, phone numbers, or payment details are collected or stored on our servers.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest under Section 5 of the DPDP, specifically to ensure the website functions properly, improve user experience, and analyze traffic patterns for service enhancement. We do not rely on consent for these limited processing activities, as they are non-intrusive and do not involve sensitive personal data.

Email: [email protected]
In your message, please include:
- Your name (if applicable)
- A description of the data you wish to access, correct, or erase
- Any relevant identifiers (e.g., cookie ID or session details, if known)
We will review your request and respond within 30 days.
Response Timeframes
Under the DPDP, we are required to respond to your requests within 30 days of receipt. If additional time is needed, we will notify you with a reason for the delay.
No Discrimination Policy
VBF will not deny, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service to you because you exercised your rights under the DPDP. Your access to our website and its content remains unaffected by your data rights choices.
