Compliance Roadmap Addendum

1. Legal & Copyright

• Deemona operates strictly as an RSS aggregator, not a publisher
• Explicit compliance with the Copyright Act 1957 and the Berne Convention
• Publisher opt-out is available via direct request or by disallowing our crawler in robots.txt
• A repeat infringer policy is in force: accounts or sources repeatedly associated with infringing content may be suspended or permanently excluded

2. IT Rules 2021

• A Grievance Officer is published with designation, contact details, and resolution timelines (24-hour acknowledgement, 15-day resolution, 36-hour removal of unlawful content)
• A takedown mechanism allows unlawful content to be removed within 36 hours of a valid complaint
• Compliance reports summarising grievance and takedown activity will be published on a quarterly basis
• Users are responsible for their own comments and community content; moderation guidelines are enforced through Deemona's comment moderation tools

3. Data Protection (DPDP Act 2023 + GDPR)

• Minimal data collection: no advertising trackers, no location tracking, no behavioural profiling
• Consent management with opt-out mechanisms for marketing communications and non-essential cookies
• An interactive cookie banner is displayed to all visitors, including for essential-only acceptance
• Cross-border data transfer safeguards are documented for Singapore-based hosting infrastructure
• Data breach notification: affected users are notified within 72 hours, with reporting to the Data Protection Board of India for breaches affecting users in India

4. Operational Governance

• A transparency dashboard publishes our source list, bias methodology, and platform statistics
• A force majeure clause protects against liability arising from events outside Deemona's reasonable control
• Age restrictions (under-13 exclusion) are reinforced in the Terms of Service
• Publisher disputes are handled first through direct communication before any further escalation
