When a data problem hits your housing society, every minute counts.

Imagine this. Someone calls your RWA secretary and says: 'I can see all residents' phone numbers on your app.' Your stomach drops. This happens more than you think. Housing society apps store Aadhaar copies, phone numbers, visitor logs, and even salary details. If something goes wrong, rumours spread on WhatsApp before you can even say sorry. You need a plan — right now.
Under the DPDPA law, your RWA is responsible — not the app company. If your society app leaks a resident's Aadhaar copy or phone number, you must act fast. First, stop the leak. Second, tell affected residents honestly. Third, report it to the Data Protection Board. Do not wait for the vendor to fix it. The law says the responsibility is yours. One WhatsApp forward can destroy years of trust. A clear plan saves you from panic and penalties.
Write a simple 5-step plan for what to do if data leaks.
Ask your app vendor in writing: who sees our resident data?
