Editorial Policy
dpdpact.info is built to provide plain-English, implementation-oriented DPDP guidance for founders, operators, and teams that need practical help, not legal theater. Commercial features stay secondary to that mission.
Source approach
- Prefer official, legal, and government materials first.
- Use secondary commentary as support, not as primary authority.
- Distinguish between settled law, draft materials, sector overlays, and commentary.
Style approach
- Plain English over jargon.
- Workflow relevance over abstract restatement.
- Informational, not legal advice.
Independence and sponsorship
Topics and page depth are driven by reader usefulness and search intent for DPDP implementation, not by undisclosed payments. Sponsored or affiliate placements are labeled. We do not present sponsorships as government or regulatory endorsement. Ranked “best vendor” lists that imply payment are not used here; see Get help implementing DPDP for neutral criteria when we list implementation resources.
Affiliate / referral programs (editorial register)
When enrolled, we list networks and link types in both this policy and the Privacy Policy. Typical categories:
- Display ads: reserved slots, consent-aware loading.
- Affiliate links: tools, books, or hosting where a commission may apply.
- Professional intros: optional mailto or partner page, no pay-to-rank.
Update the table in the privacy policy when a new program goes live.
