It applies to processing of digital personal data within India and to processing outside India if it involves offering goods or services to individuals in India. Significant Data Fiduciaries face enhanced obligations, and the Data Protection Board can impose fines up to ₹250 crore.
Squarespace sites use Squarespace's infrastructure and built-in analytics that automatically collect visitor data.
