Hello and welcome to this interactive tour of the TSI DPDP Consent Management System Client! At TSI Cooperative Foundation, we believe in transparent and user-empowering data privacy. As the Data Fiduciary for this website, we are committed to upholding your rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.
This tour will walk you through how our system puts you in control of your personal data.
A digital platform that connects business IT departments with solutions, services and talent. More details here.
Before we dive into the demo, let's briefly look at the types of information we might collect and why. Remember, you control what you share!

Let's begin! Follow the steps below and click on the elements within the demo page to see how it all works.
What you see: When you first visit the site (or if your consent has expired), a Consent Banner will appear at the bottom of your screen (see below). This is our way of giving you clear notice as soon as you arrive.
Your Action: You have three clear options:
Click "Accept All & Continue": This quickly grants consent for all non-essential purposes.
Click "Reject Non-Essential": This will only enable the absolutely necessary functions of the website.
Click "Manage My Preferences": This is where you get granular control!
How to access: If you clicked "Manage My Preferences" on the banner, or if you click the "Privacy Choices" link at the bottom-right of the page now, a modal window (the "Preference Center") will pop up.
What you see:
A list of all our data processing purposes (like "Website Analytics," "Personalized Marketing," etc.).
Mandatory purposes (like "Account Registration") will be marked as "Mandatory for Service" and their toggles will be disabled, as they are essential for core site functionality.
For optional purposes, you'll see a toggle switch.
Your Action:
Toggle the switches to your desired "ON" (accept) or "OFF" (reject) position for each purpose.
Click "Save Choices" at the bottom of the modal to apply your selections.
Observe: Watch how the console messages change, indicating which scripts (e.g., analytics, community engagement) are now active or inactive based on your choices!
What it is: This feature allows you to see the exact JSON representation of your current consent preferences stored in your browser.
Observe: A modal will appear showing a formatted JSON object. This is your personal consent artifact!
If you haven't made a choice yet, it will politely inform you.
If you've made choices, you'll see policyId, policyVersion, timestamp, mechanism, and your preferences (a list of purpose_id: true/false). This is our auditable record of your choices.
The Challenge: Sometimes, you interact with a website before logging in (an "anonymous" session). Later, you log in. How do we connect those early choices to your official account? This is where "Link Principal" comes in.
Observe:
If you see a modal asking for your Name and Email, it means your browser has an anonymous ID that can be linked. Fill in details and click "Submit & Link Account." We'll simulate receiving a "Principal ID."
If you immediately see a modal saying "Account Already Linked!", it means your browser already has a non-anonymous ID associated with it.
Observe (after linking): The modal will update to show your new, persistent principal_id stored in your browser's local storage, along with all your consent preferences under this unified ID. In a real system, this ID would be your authenticated user ID from our backend.
The Principle: Certain functionalities on our site require your consent for specific data processing purposes.
Your Action (Add Post):
Observe: A modal will appear.
If your "Community Engagement" preference is OFF, it will deny access and prompt you to "Manage Preferences."
If your "Community Engagement" preference is ON, it will grant access.
Try This: If denied, click "Manage Preferences" from the modal, enable "Community Engagement", "Save Choices", then try "Add Post" again.
Your Action (Provider Zone):
Observe: A modal will appear.
If your "Solutions & Services Showcase" preference is OFF, it will deny access.
If your "Solutions & Services Showcase" preference is ON, it will grant access.
Try This: Adjust the "Solutions & Services Showcase" preference in "Manage Preferences" and re-test.
This tour demonstrates how TSI Cooperative Foundation empowers you to manage your privacy.
