DataSentinel Privacy Exposure Monitoring Platform

Project Overview

DataSentinel is a privacy-focused platform designed to help individuals discover, understand, and respond to publicly exposed personal information on the internet. The platform combines personal-data exposure monitoring, evidence collection, authorization-based removal requests, and request tracking into a single workflow.

“Centered around India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act 2023, DataSentinel turns scattered manual privacy requests into a structured and trackable case-management experience.”
01 — The Problem

Scattered Exposure & Friction

Personal information like phone numbers, emails, residential addresses, names, and publicly indexed documents can become visible online without the individual knowing where it originated or how to request removal.

The Core Problem

“People can discover that their personal information is exposed, but they lack a simple system to turn that discovery into a structured removal workflow.”

04 — Comparative Advantage

Post-Removal Reappearance Monitoring

Information often reappears on updated directories, republished documents, or cached search engine indices. DataSentinel continues checking previously resolved cases 24/7, automatically triggering new cases if an exposure re-emerges.
