DPDP Compliance
GlobalCarPartsConnection 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 the measures we have implemented to ensure lawful, transparent, and secure data handling.
Scope and Applicability
The DPDP applies to the processing of digital personal data within India, and to processing outside India if it relates to offering goods or services to individuals in India. While GlobalCarPartsConnection does not maintain a user registration system or store personal data in a database, we may collect limited, non-identifiable data through automated means such as website analytics, server logs, and cookies to improve user experience and site functionality. This data is processed solely for legitimate business purposes and in full compliance with the DPDP.
Your Rights Under DPDP
Under the DPDP, you have the following rights:
- Right to access information about how your personal data is being processed
- Right to correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data
- Right to withdrawal of consent where processing is based on consent
- Right to grievance redressal by filing a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India
Please note: Since we do not collect or store personal data that can identify you, the rights to erasure and data portability do not apply in our context.
How We Comply
GlobalCarPartsConnection complies with the DPDP by:
- Collecting only minimal, non-personal data necessary for site operation
- Using analytics tools that anonymize user identifiers
- Providing clear notice about data collection via our Privacy Policy
- Not selling, sharing, or transferring personal data to third parties
- Implementing technical safeguards to prevent unauthorized access
Data We Process
We process the following types of data, strictly in accordance with the DPDP:
- IP addresses (anonymized)
- Browser type and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Cookie identifiers (session-only, non-tracking)
No name, email, phone number, or other personally identifiable information is collected, stored, or processed.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of data is based on legitimate interest under Section 7 of the DPDP, as it is necessary for the functioning of our website, improving user experience, and ensuring site security. We do not rely on consent for this processing, as it is not required for non-identifiable, anonymized data used for operational purposes.

Response Timeframes
We are legally required to respond to requests under the DPDP within 30 days of receipt. We aim to respond sooner, typically within 15 business days.
No Discrimination Policy
GlobalCarPartsConnection does not and will not discriminate against any individual for exercising their rights under the DPDP. You may request access, correction, or withdraw consent without fear of denial of service, price changes, or reduced quality of service.
