A single lead sheet can pass through 8 different hands — quietly.
A buyer fills a form on your website. They share their phone number, income, and Aadhaar copy. Now think — who sees that? Your broker sends it on WhatsApp. The channel partner forwards it. The legal drafter opens it. The finance team saves it. By evening, one person's private details are sitting in six different phones. Under the new data law, this is your responsibility.
Say a buyer shares their salary slip and PAN card with you. Your office admin saves it. Your broker WhatsApps it to a channel partner. That partner shares it with a landlord. Now five people have private financial details. None of them signed any agreement. Under the new data law, you are responsible for all of this. If something goes wrong, the blame comes back to your business. You must know who touches every lead file.
List every person who gets access to your lead files.
Stop sharing Aadhaar or PAN copies on WhatsApp groups.
