We collect personal data through various means, depending on how you interact with our Website and Services. We adhere to the principle of data minimisation and only collect what is necessary.

3.1 Information You Provide Directly

  • Account Registration: Name, email address, company name, and any other information required during registration
  • Billing Details: Billing name, address, phone number, email address, and GSTIN when you buy a plan. Card and bank details are entered with our payment processor, and we do not store them
  • Contact Form Submissions: Name, email address, company name, role or job title, optional phone number, and message content. With the relevant tracking permission, a demo enquiry also includes campaign context so our team can understand where it came from
  • Newsletter Subscription: Email address
  • Resource Downloads: Email address (e.g., when downloading our DPDP Compliance Checklist)
  • Cookie Scan Reports: The website address you scan and, if you ask for the report by email, your email address and whether you want occasional DPDP updates
  • Demo Bookings: Name, email address, and the time you choose when you book a demo
  • Website Chat: Your messages and any details you share when you use the chat on our Website

3.2 Information Collected Automatically

Essential hosting and security services process technical information needed to serve the Website. If you accept analytics, we also collect usage information through cookies and similar technologies:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Referring website or source
  • IP address (anonymised where possible)
  • Device type and screen resolution
  • Date and time of access

3.3 Information from Third Parties

We may receive limited information from third-party analytics providers and hosting services that help us maintain and improve the Website.

4. Purpose of Processing

We process your personal data only for clear, specific, and lawful purposes, as required under Section 4 of the DPDP Act. These purposes include:

  • Service Delivery: To provide, maintain, and improve our Services, process your requests, and communicate with you about your account
  • Product Updates: To notify you about new features, product improvements, and service updates
  • Communication: To respond to your inquiries, support requests, and feedback submitted through our contact form or chat
  • Cookie Scan Reports: To scan the website you name and email you the report you ask for
  • Newsletter and Updates: To send periodic newsletters and compliance updates (only with your explicit opt-in consent)
  • Website Improvement: To analyse usage patterns, diagnose technical issues, and improve our Website's performance and user experience
  • Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal processes, or enforceable governmental requests
  • Security: To detect, prevent, and address fraud, security threats, and abuse

5. Lawful Basis for Processing

Under the DPDP Act, 2023, we process your personal data based on the following lawful grounds:

  • Consent (Section 6): When you create an account, subscribe to our newsletter, ask for DPDP updates, accept analytics cookies, or submit a contact form, you provide your informed, free, specific, and unambiguous consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time (see Section 8 below).
  • Legitimate Uses (Section 7(a)): When you voluntarily give us personal data for a specific purpose, such as asking for a cookie scan report by email, we use it for that purpose unless you tell us that you do not consent.
  • Contractual Necessity: To fulfil our obligations when you use our Services under a subscription agreement.
  • Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary to comply with applicable Indian law.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Essential Cookies: Strictly necessary for the Website to function. These cannot be disabled without affecting core functionality. They do not collect personal data for marketing purposes.
  • Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our Website. GA4 measures traffic and campaigns, PostHog measures page views and selected actions, and Microsoft Clarity provides heatmaps and masked session recordings. These tools load only after you accept analytics. We disable Google Signals, personalised advertising and PostHog replay, discard IP addresses in PostHog, and use GA4's built-in IP handling. We exclude form contents, scanned website addresses, and private URL parameters from custom analytics events. Clarity uses strict text masking and does not record scanner pages.
  • Campaign attribution: After analytics consent, we keep the landing page and campaign labels in session storage for the current visit. If you also accept Advertising measurement, we may retain ad-click references for that visit. Google receives its own permitted click references for measurement; these references are excluded from general PostHog and Clarity event properties. If you submit a demo enquiry, permitted campaign context accompanies it to our team, whether or not you book a time. We do not send the form's names, email addresses, phone numbers or comments as Analytics event parameters.
  • Chat and Video: The chat window and the video player load only when you open them, and may then set cookies they need to work.

You can manage your cookie preferences through our cookie banner or your browser settings. Withdrawing analytics consent stops further analytics collection; it does not automatically erase earlier provider records. Disabling cookies may affect certain features of the Website. We do not enable personalised advertising or remarketing through this integration. Withdrawing Advertising measurement permission removes the browser's stored ad-click references and stops new click attribution. It does not delete an enquiry already sent to our team.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share your personal data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers (Data Processors): We engage trusted third-party vendors who process data on our behalf to provide the Services. They fall into these categories:
    • Hosting, content delivery, and storage: Running our Website and Services, protecting them from attacks, and storing data
    • Email delivery: Sending account emails, notifications, and the reports you ask for
    • Email address checks: Confirming that an address can receive email before we send to it
    • Mailing list: Sending newsletters and DPDP updates, only if you subscribe or ask for them
    • Website analytics: Measuring how the Website is used, only with your consent, using Google Analytics 4, PostHog (US region), and Microsoft Clarity
    • Advertising measurement: Relating permitted Google ad clicks to website outcomes through Google Analytics and the linked Google Ads account, with the relevant consent. Campaign conversion goals are configured separately
    • Website chat: Running the chat, only when you open it
    • Meeting scheduling: Booking demos you request
    • Sales records: Keeping track of demo requests and sales or audit enquiries you send us, and our replies
    • Payment processing: Taking payment when you buy a plan
    You can ask us for the names of the service providers that have received your personal data (see Section 8). Providers process data under their applicable service and data protection terms. See the privacy information from Google, PostHog, and Microsoft for their processing practices.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your personal data when required by law, regulation, legal process, or enforceable governmental request, or to protect our rights, privacy, safety, property, or that of our users.
  • Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal data may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

8. Your Rights as a Data Principal

Under the DPDP Act, 2023, you have the following rights with respect to your personal data:

  • Right to Access (Section 11(a)): You have the right to obtain a summary of the personal data we hold about you and the processing activities undertaken, and the identities of the other Data Fiduciaries and Data Processors with whom it has been shared.
  • Right to Correction and Erasure (Section 12): You may request correction of inaccurate or misleading personal data, or completion of incomplete data. You may also request erasure of your personal data that is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent (Section 6(6)): You may withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can withdraw consent by:
  • Right to Grievance Redressal (Section 13): You have the right to file a complaint about how we process your data. Please contact our Grievance Officer (see Section 14 below). If you are not satisfied with our response, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at privacy@complyzero.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

9. Data Security

We implement reasonable security safeguards as required under Section 8(4) of the DPDP Act to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Our measures include:

  • Encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS for all connections)
  • Encryption at rest for sensitive data stores
  • Access controls based on the principle of least privilege
  • Regular security assessments and vulnerability scanning
  • Employee training on data handling and security practices

While we take commercially reasonable precautions, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. If you have reason to believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately.

10. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach, we will:

  • Notify the Data Protection Board of India as required under Section 8(6) of the DPDP Act
  • Notify affected Data Principals without unreasonable delay
  • Provide information about the nature of the breach, the data involved, and the remedial steps taken

11. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. Our retention periods are:

  • Marketing emails: Until you unsubscribe
  • Contact form submissions: 2 years from the date of submission
  • Newsletter subscribers: Until you unsubscribe
  • Account data: For the duration of your active subscription, plus 90 days after termination to allow for data export
  • Cookie scan reports: The scan result for no more than six hours. Your email address is not kept after the report is sent, unless you ask for DPDP updates, in which case it is kept until you unsubscribe. Our email delivery provider keeps a record of the delivery for its own limited period
  • Analytics data: GA4 user and event data for up to 14 months, PostHog events for up to one year, and Clarity recordings for 30 days. Clarity heatmaps and selected saved recordings may be retained for up to 9 months, according to its service settings
  • Legal and compliance records: As required by applicable Indian law (typically 8 years under the Companies Act, 2013)

Upon expiry of the retention period or fulfilment of the purpose, we will erase your personal data, unless retention is required by law.

12. International Data Transfers

Our Website is delivered through a global content delivery network, and some of our service providers operate outside India. Your data may therefore be processed in jurisdictions outside India. Under the DPDP Act, the Central Government may restrict transfers of personal data to certain countries. We will comply with any such restrictions and ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for international data transfers, including:

  • Contractual clauses with service providers requiring equivalent data protection standards
  • Compliance with any transfer restrictions notified by the Central Government under Section 16(1) of the DPDP Act

13. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. In accordance with Section 9 of the DPDP Act, we do not knowingly collect, process, or store personal data of children without verifiable consent from their parent or lawful guardian.

If we become aware that we have collected personal data from a child without appropriate consent, we will take immediate steps to delete such data. If you believe we hold data of a minor, please contact us at privacy@complyzero.com.

14. Grievance Officer

In accordance with the DPDP Act and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, we have appointed a Grievance Officer to address your concerns:
