Privacy Policy

Effective Date: February 1, 2026 · Last Updated: March 2026 · Jurisdiction: Republic of India

Executive Summary: Privacy-First Architecture

As a platform dedicated to Indian data protection and AI governance, Sutra Check practices strict data minimization under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA), 2023 (Act No. 22 of 2023).

Our interactive Risk Classifier and Grievance Policy Generator execute 100% client-side in your web browser. We never store, log, or transmit your proprietary AI system configurations, prompt metadata, or draft policies to our backend servers.

01.Identity of the Data Fiduciary

Under Section 2(i) of the DPDPA 2023, Sutra Check operates as the Data Fiduciary regarding data collected through the website (https://sutracheck.in).

For any queries or formal communications regarding personal data processing, you may reach our designated Data Protection & Grievance Desk at privacy@sutracheck.in.

02.Zero-Retention Client-Side Processing

The core interactive compliance engines on this site:

  • 5-Minute Branching Risk & Mandate Classifier: Processes user-selected radio buttons and deployment options purely in local browser memory. No inputs are transmitted or recorded.
  • CPA 2019 AI Grievance Policy Generator: Dynamically compiles custom legal Markdown/text directly inside your browser’s JavaScript engine. Generated documents reside only in your device's memory until you copy or download them.
  • Ed-Tech & RBI Lineage Checkers: Local DOM state management with zero telemetry.

03.Personal Data We May Collect

We collect personal data only when you affirmatively provide it to us:

Voluntary Communications

When you submit an inquiry via our Contact Form or email us, we collect your name, email address, organization name, and the text of your communication to resolve your request.

Technical Infrastructure Logs

Like any standard web service, our servers automatically log basic HTTP header information (IP address, user agent, requested URL, timestamp) for security monitoring, DDoS prevention, and site uptime verification.

04.Lawful Basis of Processing under DPDPA 2023

We process personal data solely on lawful grounds established under the Act:

  • Consent (Sections 4 & 6): For voluntary contact submissions, where consent is explicitly collected prior to transmission.
  • Certain Legitimate Uses (Section 7): For essential server logging required to maintain cybersecurity, detect fraud, and ensure network resilience.

05.Cookies & Local Storage Policy

Sutra Check believes in a clean, tracker-free web experience:

  • No Tracking Cookies: We do NOT use third-party behavioral advertising cookies, Meta pixels, or invasive session recorders.
  • Functional Local Storage: We use your browser's localStorage exclusively to preserve functional client preferences across visits: your theme preference (theme: 'dark' | 'light', toggled via the sun/moon icon button in the top navigation bar) and temporary local assessment restores. No personal identifiers or analytics telemetry are stored.
