Your housing society may be sharing resident info without knowing it.
Your housing society uses many apps and vendors. The visitor app, the payment app, the CCTV company — all of them can see residents' information. Most societies have no idea who sees what. Under the new DPDP law, your society is responsible for all of it. If a vendor misuses a resident's phone number or Aadhaar copy, the society gets the blame. This applies to every RWA and housing society in India.
Think about your society's daily life. A guard uses a visitor app — that app company sees every visitor's name and phone number. Residents pay maintenance via an app — that company sees payment details. A CCTV vendor monitors cameras — they can see who enters and exits. A WhatsApp group admin shares residents' numbers freely. Under DPDP law, your society must check each vendor. You must know what information they hold. You must have a written agreement with each one.
List every app and vendor your society uses right now.
Ask each vendor: what resident information do you store and why?
