DPDP Compliance
AP Startup Hub is committed to respecting your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP), India’s landmark data protection law. 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 AP Startup Hub does not collect personal data through user registration or accounts, we may process limited personal data indirectly through website analytics, cookies, and server logs. This page outlines how we handle such data in compliance with the DPDP.
Your Rights Under DPDP
As a data principal, you have the following rights under the DPDP:
- Right to access your personal data held by us
- Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
- Right to erasure of your personal 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
AP Startup Hub complies with the DPDP by:
- Not collecting personal data unless necessary for website functionality
- Using only essential cookies for analytics and user experience
- Ensuring third-party service providers (e.g., analytics tools) comply with DPDP requirements
- Not selling or sharing personal data for commercial purposes
- Maintaining data minimization and purpose limitation in all processing activities
Data We Process
The personal data we may process includes:
- IP addresses (anonymized where possible)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookie identifiers for analytics purposes
This data is collected solely for improving website performance and user experience. No personally identifiable information is stored in databases or linked to individual identities.
Legal Basis for Processing
Under the DPDP, our processing is based on legitimate use for website functionality and analytical purposes. We do not rely on consent for this limited processing, as it is necessary for the operation of our informational website and does not involve sensitive personal data or profiling.

To exercise your rights under the DPDP, please contact us via email at [email protected]. In your message, please:
- Specify the right you wish to exercise (e.g., access, correction, erasure)
- Provide sufficient details to identify your data (e.g., IP address, date of visit)
- Include your name and contact information
We will verify your identity 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
AP Startup Hub will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service to you because you exercised your rights under the DPDP.

We may update this DPDP Compliance page periodically to reflect changes in the law or our practices. The latest version will always be posted here with an updated effective date.
