Real estate offices handle sensitive buyer documents daily. Learn how DPDPA applies to property dealers and PropTech startups.
Buyer Aadhaar cards, income proofs, and broker contact lists scattered across WhatsApp groups.
One leaked document can cost you deals, reputation, and heavy penalties under DPDPA.
Every Aadhaar, PAN, salary slip, or bank statement you collect is personal data. You need clear permission to collect it and must protect it from leaks or misuse.
A Pune property dealer shared buyer income proofs with five banks via WhatsApp. One bank employee leaked them. The buyer traced it back and filed a complaint.
Sharing complete buyer files with multiple banks, brokers, and lawyers without limiting what each party actually needs to see.
Sharing full KYC bundles when partners only need specific documents—share minimum required.
Keeping old buyer documents forever—delete files once transaction is complete and legally required.
Using personal WhatsApp for document sharing—switch to secure channels with access controls.
