GDPR Compliance

    Last Updated: April 2026

    Draft — Pending Legal Review

    This page is a working draft. It has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel and must not be treated as DBI's final statement of GDPR compliance until that review is complete.

    1. Who This Applies To

    Digital Book of India ("DBI") is based in India and primarily serves users and businesses in India. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an EU/EEA law. If you are located in the EU or EEA and use DBI, this page describes the rights GDPR gives you over your personal data and how to exercise them. Users in India are additionally covered by our Privacy Policy and applicable Indian data protection law.

    2. Data Controller

    For personal data collected through digitalbookofindia.com, Digital Book of India acts as the data controller. You can contact us at contact@digitalbookofindia.com for any GDPR-related request.

    3. Legal Basis for Processing

    We process personal data on the following bases: performance of a contract (e.g. operating your account and listing), your consent (e.g. optional location access or Aadhaar/DigiLocker verification), our legitimate interests (e.g. platform security and fraud prevention), and compliance with legal obligations.

    4. Your GDPR Rights

    If GDPR applies to you, you have the right to:

    • Access the personal data we hold about you.
    • Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
    • Request erasure of your data, subject to legal or contractual retention needs.
    • Restrict or object to certain processing.
    • Receive your data in a portable format.
    • Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent (e.g. location access).
    • Lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

    5. International Data Transfers

    As an India-based platform, data you provide may be processed and stored in India and by service providers we use (such as our hosting infrastructure, Razorpay, Google, and Mapbox), which may process data outside your home country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards offered by those providers.

    6. How to Exercise Your Rights

    To exercise any of the rights above, email contact@digitalbookofindia.com with your request. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law.

    7. Changes to This Page
