Free DPDPA & GDPR compliance checker
WhizzAct's DPDPA compliance checker scans any website or mobile app against India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA) and the EU GDPR. In seconds you get a compliance score, a prioritised list of gaps, and clear fixes — covering your privacy notice, consent and cookie banners, third-party trackers, security, Grievance Officer details and data-principal rights. Run a free scan above, then talk to a compliance expert to close the gaps.
What is DPDPA compliance?
The DPDPA 2023 is India's data-protection law. It requires any Data Fiduciary (an organisation that decides how personal data is processed) to give clear notice, obtain free and informed consent, publish a Grievance Officer contact, keep data secure, honour data-principal rights such as access and erasure, and protect children's data. Non-compliance can attract penalties of up to ₹250 crore per instance, so a regular DPDPA compliance check is essential for Indian businesses and any company serving Indian users.
What does the compliance scan check?
- Privacy policy & notice — present, reachable and complete (DPDPA s.5 · GDPR Art. 13–14)
- Consent & cookies — consent banner, no tracking before consent, easy withdrawal (DPDPA s.6 · ePrivacy)
- Trackers & third parties — analytics/advertising tags and processor disclosure
- Security — HTTPS, HSTS, security headers and secure cookies (DPDPA s.8(5) · GDPR Art. 32)
- Data-principal rights — access, correction, erasure, nomination (DPDPA s.11–14 · GDPR Art. 15–20)
- Governance — Grievance Officer (DPDPA s.13), DPO (GDPR Art. 37), retention and breach process
- Children's data & cross-border transfers (DPDPA s.9 · GDPR Art. 8, 44–49)
DPDPA vs GDPR — one scan, both frameworks
The EU GDPR and India's DPDPA share core principles — lawful processing, consent, transparency, security and individual rights — but differ in specifics like the Grievance Officer requirement and cross-border-transfer rules. This GDPR compliance checker scores your page against both at once, so a single scan tells you where you stand under each law.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if my website is DPDPA compliant?
Enter your website URL above and run a free scan. WhizzAct inspects your privacy notice, consent and cookie banners, trackers, security, Grievance Officer details and data-principal rights, then returns a DPDPA compliance score with a prioritised list of gaps to fix.
Is the DPDPA & GDPR compliance checker free?
Yes. You can scan any website or mobile app and download an HTML, JSON or PDF report at no cost.
What are the penalties for DPDPA non-compliance?
Under the DPDPA 2023, penalties can reach up to ₹250 crore per instance — for example failing to implement reasonable security safeguards or to prevent a personal-data breach.
Does it also check GDPR compliance?
Yes. Every scan evaluates the page against both the DPDPA 2023 and the EU GDPR, with a separate score for each framework plus a combined overall score.
Can it scan mobile apps?
Yes. Choose "Mobile app" and paste a Google Play or App Store link to assess an app's DPDPA and GDPR posture from its store listing and privacy policy.
Is an automated scan enough for full compliance?
An automated scan is a fast technical pre-assessment of publicly observable signals. Full DPDPA or GDPR compliance also needs records of processing, processor contracts (DPAs), consent logs and DPIAs — WhizzAct's experts can help with that.
