NDTV Convergence Limited Privacy Policy

MINOR

FIRST SEEN 2026-08-19 · VERSION 20260819_rev01 · COMPARED WITH 20260818_rev01

What changed, in plain language

This update is almost entirely cleanup: broken links were fixed and the indentation of many sections was corrected. No rules about your data changed. The one real loss is that the Grievance Officer's job title and email address were deleted, so the policy no longer tells you how to contact the person who handles complaints.

Changes that may affect you

No contact address left for filing a complaintMINOR

OTHER

If you have a problem with how NDTV handles your data, you are supposed to be able to complain to a Grievance Officer. That officer's email address was removed from this version, leaving only a name. Indian data protection law requires a working complaint channel, so this looks like an editing mistake rather than a deliberate rollback — but until it is fixed, the page does not tell you where to send a grievance.

“- Grievance Officer Name: Himanshu Kapoor”

What you can do — To raise a privacy complaint, email the Data Protection Officer at DataProtection@ndtv.com instead, since the grievance address is no longer listed. If you are not satisfied with the response, you can escalate to the Data Protection Board of India.

− REMOVEDGrievance Officer's title and email were deleted
The policy used to name the Grievance Officer, give his job title, and list an email address for complaints. Now only his name remains — the title and the Grievanceofficer@ndtv.com address are gone, so there is no listed way to reach him.

± CHANGEDSections were re-indented, not rewritten
About a dozen sections (Consent Management, Cookies, Data Sharing, Cross-Border Transfers, Data Retention, Data Security, Your Rights, Policy Updates, Grievance Redressal) were shifted from being buried under the minors section to standing on their own. The wording is identical — only the outline level changed.
