Subject

Erasure and consent-withdrawal request under DPDP Act, 2023 | BYJU'S

Body

To the Grievance Officer / Data Protection Officer,
BYJU'S

I am a Data Principal under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
Please action the following in respect of personal data BYJU'S holds about me:

  1. WITHDRAWAL OF CONSENT (Section 6(4))
     I withdraw my consent to all processing of my personal data except
     processing for which you have a specific, ongoing legal obligation.
     This includes: marketing, profiling, behavioural advertising, sharing
     with affiliates and third parties, and any AI / model training.

  2. ERASURE (Section 12(3))
     Please erase all personal data you hold about me — including back-ups
     and data shared with any processor or third party — except data that
     a specific law requires you to retain. For any data you must retain,
     please tell me:
       (a) what data,
       (b) under which law,
       (c) for how long, and
       (d) confirm it will not be used for any other purpose.

  3. THIRD PARTIES (Section 8(5))
     Please forward this instruction to every Data Fiduciary or Data
     Processor with whom BYJU'S has shared my data, and confirm in writing
     once each has actioned it.

Please link this request to my account using:
  • Registered email: [your email]
  • Registered phone: [+91 ...]
  • Account / customer ID: [if known]

I expect:
  • Marketing stopped within 48 hours.
  • An acknowledgement within a few business days.
  • A substantive response within 30 days.

If I do not hear back, I will proceed under Section 13 (grievance
redressal) and, if needed, file a complaint with the Data Protection
Board of India.

Sincerely,
[Your full name]
[Date]

Common questions

FAQ about deleting your BYJU'S data

How long does BYJU'S have to delete my data?

The DPDP Rules expect a substantive response within 30 days, with marketing stopped within 48 hours. BYJU'S can keep data only where a specific law (e.g. the Income-tax Act) requires it — and must tell you exactly which data, under which law, and for how long.

Will my BYJU'S account stop working?

If the personal data you asked to be erased was tied to a service feature, that feature stops. BYJU'S should clearly tell you what stops — and they cannot withhold an unrelated paid service for refusing optional data.

What if BYJU'S says they need to keep my data for their records?

"Our records" is not a legal obligation. Push back and ask BYJU'S to name the specific law and the retention period. Most internal “record-keeping” doesn’t qualify, and a blanket refusal is grounds for a complaint to the Data Protection Board.

Can I also stop BYJU'S from sharing my data with third parties?

Yes — that is exactly what Section 8(5) requires. BYJU'S must forward your erasure instruction to every party they shared your data with, and confirm in writing each one has actioned it.
