One leaked donor list can destroy years of trust in one day.
Imagine your NGO's donor list — with names, phone numbers, and Aadhaar details — gets leaked on WhatsApp. Donors start calling. Volunteers panic. Funders ask hard questions. This happens more than you think. NGOs collect a lot of sensitive information. Beneficiary records, volunteer files, event photos, donor details. If any of this leaks, your mission takes the hit first. Do you have a plan ready?
Say your NGO stores beneficiary details in a WhatsApp group. Someone adds the wrong person. Now private information is exposed. Or your vendor's laptop gets stolen — it had your donor spreadsheet. Under DPDPA, you must act fast. First, find out what leaked. Second, stop further leaking. Third, tell the government within 72 hours. Fourth, inform the people whose information was exposed. If you delay, your NGO can face heavy fines. Worse, donors and funders will stop trusting you.
Write down who holds donor, beneficiary, and volunteer files in your NGO.
Move sensitive files out of WhatsApp groups into a password-protected folder.
