DPDP Compliance

Rio Photography Services is committed to complying with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP), India’s landmark legislation governing the processing of personal data. This page explains how we uphold your rights under the DPDP and ensures transparency in our data practices.

Scope and Applicability

The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data of individuals in India. While Rio Photography Services does not maintain a user registration system or store personal data in a database, we may collect limited personal data through website interactions such as contact form submissions, analytics tools, or cookies used for site functionality and performance.

Your Rights Under DPDP

Under the DPDP, you have the following rights:

• Right to access your personal data processed by us
• Right to correction or completion 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 a person to exercise your rights in case of death or incapacity

How We Comply

Rio Photography Services complies with the DPDP by:

• Collecting personal data only through lawful and transparent means
• Limiting data collection to what is necessary for the intended purpose
• Not retaining personal data longer than required
• Ensuring all third-party tools (e.g., analytics) comply with DPDP standards
• Responding to data subject requests within legally mandated timeframes

Data We Process

Any personal data we process is limited to:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• IP address (via analytics)
• Cookie identifiers (for site functionality)

This data is collected solely when you voluntarily submit it via our contact form or when our website analytics tools automatically gather non-identifiable usage patterns.

Legal Basis for Processing

Our processing of personal data is based on your consent (when you submit a contact form) or our legitimate interest in ensuring website functionality, security, and performance. We do not process sensitive personal data or share data with third parties for commercial purposes without explicit consent.

Response Timeframes

We will respond to your request within 30 days of receipt, as required under the DPDP. If additional time is needed, we will notify you with the reason and expected response date.

No Discrimination Policy

Rio Photography Services will not deny services, charge different prices, or provide a lower quality of service to you because you exercised your rights under the DPDP.
