About DPDP Compliance
From the official readme · v2.1.0Description
SG2 DPDP Compliance Toolkit is a comprehensive WordPress plugin designed to help Indian websites comply with the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023. It provides tools for managing user consent, handling data subject rights (DSR) requests, generating dynamic privacy policies, and auditing compliance activities.
Key Features:
- Consent Management Banner: A customizable cookie consent popup that allows users to manage preferences for data processing purposes (e.g., communication, analytics, marketing, strictly necessary). Supports multi-language (English, Hindi) and test mode for development.
- Grievance Redressal Form: A secure form for users to submit DSR requests (access, correction, deletion of personal data). Includes email confirmation, rate limiting, and admin workflow for approval/rejection.
- Privacy Policy Generator: Automatically generates a basic privacy policy based on your site settings, using templates for blogs or e-commerce sites. Easily customizable via shortcodes.
- Admin Dashboard: Beautiful, responsive dashboard with metrics (total consents, pending requests), sub-pages for settings, logs, requests, audit trails, script manager, and exports (CSV/JSON).
- Consent Logging & Audit: Logs all consents and actions to the database with IP/user agent hashing for privacy. View/export logs easily.
- Shortcodes: Embed components easily:
[dpdp_grievance_form]: DSR request form.[dpdp_consent_status]: User’s current consent status.[dpdp_privacy_policy]: Dynamic privacy policy.
- Script Manager: Block or manage third-party scripts based on consent (e.g., GA4, Facebook Pixel integrations via SDK).
- Security & Performance: Rate limiting, nonces, sanitization, and GDPR-inspired best practices. No external dependencies beyond WordPress core.
- SDK for Integrations: JavaScript SDK for advanced consent checks (e.g.,
window.DPDP.getConsent()).
The plugin auto-creates necessary database tables on activation and sets up default pages (Privacy Policy, Consent Status, Grievance Form). It’s lightweight, mobile-responsive, and follows WordPress coding standards.
Why SG2 DPDP Compliance Toolkit?

Frequently asked questions
Does this plugin handle reCAPTCHA for forms?
reCAPTCHA is optional for the grievance form (enable in General settings). It uses Google’s API for spam verification—see the External Services section for details on data sent. The form also includes WordPress nonces and rate limiting as backups.
How do I customize the consent banner?
Go to DPDP > Banner to adjust texts, styles (position, theme, colors), display rules (first visit only), and purposes.
Can I export logs for compliance audits?
Yes, from DPDP > Exports, download consents, requests, or audit logs as CSV or JSON, with filters for status/date.
Is multi-language support built-in?
Yes, English and Hindi by default. Add translations in DPDP > Translations. Banner and forms auto-detect locale.
What happens on plugin deactivation?
Database tables are preserved by default (toggle in Advanced settings). Consents are stored in cookies for ongoing compliance.

Yes, via the JavaScript SDK. It updates gtag/fbq consent modes based on user preferences—see External Services for details.
How do I regenerate the privacy policy?
Edit the template in DPDP > Policy and click “Regenerate”. Use shortcode [dpdp_privacy_policy] to display.
