Quick Answer

A Privacy Policy Readability Scorer assesses whether your existing privacy policy meets the plain language requirement of the DPDP Act 2023 — evaluating reading level, sentence complexity, use of jargon, and completeness of required disclosures. Complex, legalese-heavy policies that users cannot understand do not meet DPDP Act standards. This scorer provides a readability grade and specific rewrite recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reading level should a privacy policy target?+
Target a Grade 8 reading level — accessible to the average person. DPDP requires privacy notices to be clear and accessible, not just legally accurate.
Should the privacy policy be in Indian languages?+
For services targeting non-English speakers, providing privacy notices in regional languages significantly improves informed consent. DPDP's principle of clear notice supports this.
How often should a privacy policy be updated?+
Update when: you add new data collection, change third-party vendors, change data use purposes, or DPDP regulations change. At minimum, annual review and date-stamp update.
