Security, privacy, and legal guardrails

Collect less. Record precisely. Keep judgement human.

Evidely is being designed to coordinate configured actions and preserve their evidence without becoming another unnecessary store of direct identity data.

Design principle / 01Pseudonymous subject references

Move the workflow using the customer’s opaque identifier—not a copied name, email, or phone number.

01

Minimise by default

The workflow is being designed around opaque or pseudonymous subject references, so Evidely does not need a person's name, email address, or phone number merely to coordinate an action.

02

Keep tenants separate

Tenant isolation is a foundational design requirement across case data, connector credentials, logs, and exported evidence—not a later interface setting.

03

Make evidence checkable

The target evidence architecture carries ordered events, hashes, acknowledgements, verification receipts, and a planned signature that can be checked independently.

04

Preserve human judgement

Software can coordinate configured work and record outcomes. It does not decide legal basis or replace the customer's privacy, security, or legal judgement.

Regulatory context

Useful dates, without manufactured urgency.

Fact 1

The DPDP Act says withdrawing consent must be as easy as giving it, and processing should stop within a reasonable time unless another legal basis authorises or requires it.

DPDP Act, 2023 — Section 6
Fact 2

The 13 November 2025 commencement notification brings most substantive provisions in Sections 3–17 into force 18 months after publication: 13 May 2027.

Hosting direction

India-region by default, for practical reasons.

The product is planned to use India-region hosting for latency, procurement comfort, data-sovereignty expectations, and compatibility with customers subject to stricter sectoral requirements—not because the DPDP Act universally requires India-only storage. Section 16 allows government-notified restrictions on specific transfers.

Trust requirements

Bring the hard security questions early.

Design partners can help shape isolation, credential handling, retention, evidence verification, incident readiness, and procurement requirements before production hardening.
