ElderConnect: A Secure and User-Friendly Digital Platform for Senior Citizens
An open-source, privacy-first tool to automatically withdraw consent under the DPDP Act 2023 and find out where you've shared your data.
Problem Statement: The majority of people don't know which services and apps store their personal information. Although people have the right to revoke consent under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act of 2023, the procedure is frequently buried in complicated user interfaces or necessitates formal legal knowledge that most users do not possess.
The Solution: Consent-Watch is a locally focused app that gives users a clear picture of their digital footprint in order to empower them. Without ever uploading your personal information to a server, the tool finds registered services by scanning local email metadata (such as welcome emails and ToS updates).
Important attributes:
Local Metadata Scanner: Looks for registration markers in your local email history to find proprietary apps you use.
The Privacy Health Score classifies services according to how well they share data.
Using legal templates that comply with the DPDP Act, the One-Click Notice Generator automatically creates a formal "Notice of Consent Withdrawal."
Zero-Cloud Architecture: Guarantees that data processing and scanning remain fully on the user's device.
Impact on Society: Consent-Watch helps close the gap between legislation and individual action by transforming a complicated legal right into an easy-to-use software tool, making privacy a realistic option for regular internet users.
