Engineering Team: Kiro (AI Co-Engineering Assistant), Antigravity (AI Co-Assistant)
Date: January 2026

Compliance Framework Overview

SaralPolicy implements a comprehensive data privacy and compliance framework that ensures adherence to Indian regulations (DPDP 2023, IRDAI guidelines) while maintaining the highest standards of data protection and user privacy.

Regulatory Compliance

1. Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP) 2023

Key Requirements

  • Data Minimization: Collect only necessary data
  • Purpose Limitation: Use data only for stated purposes
  • Storage Limitation: Retain data only as long as necessary
  • Accuracy: Ensure data accuracy and completeness
  • Security: Implement appropriate security measures
  • Transparency: Provide clear privacy notices
  • User Rights: Enable data subject rights

Implementation Strategy

            "audit_logs": "7_years",
            "pii_data": "0_days"  # No PII retention
        }
    
    def implement_data_minimization(self, user_data):
        # Collect only essential data
        essential_fields = ["email", "subscription_tier"]
        return {k: v for k, v in user_data.items() if k in essential_fields}
    
    def enforce_purpose_limitation(self, data, purpose):
        # Use data only for stated purposes
        allowed_purposes = ["policy_analysis", "user_support", "service_improvement"]
        if purpose not in allowed_purposes:
            raise ComplianceError("Purpose not allowed")
    
    def implement_storage_limitation(self, data_type, retention_period):
        # Automatically delete data after retention period
