DPDP compliance for real estate and PropTech


Why DPDP Compliance Matters for Real Estate

The DPDP Act for real estate requires businesses to assess how
they collect, use, share, and retain personal data.


  Purpose limitation: Restrict personal data use to defined purposes.

  Data minimisation: Collect only the data necessary for the stated purpose.

  Data Fiduciary and Data Processor accountability: Clarify responsibilities across brokers and service providers.

  Regulatory exposure: Specified contraventions can attract penalties of up to ₹250 crore.


The Real Estate Property Data Lifecycle

Map personal data at every stage to establish its purpose, access permissions, and retention requirements.


Enquiry and site visits

Enquiry and Site Visits

Lead forms, contact details, and visitor records require appropriate notices and defined processing purposes.

Booking and verification

Booking and Verification

Buyer KYC data protection requires secure document handling, minimum necessary collection, and restricted access.

Registration and property possession

Registration and Property Possession

Sale deed, registration records, and handover documents require documented legal obligations and retention periods.


Real Estate Data Governed Under the DPDP Act

Personal data can reside in CRMs, property applications, shared drives, document repositories, and connected security systems.



Buyer KYC and identity data

Buyer KYC and Identity Data

PAN, identity documents, photographs, and address proofs require secure storage, controlled access, and justified retention.

Financial and transaction data

Financial and Transaction Data

Loan records, payment schedules, receipts, and bank-related documents require appropriate permissions and secure information exchange.

Tenant and resident data

Tenant and Resident Data

Contact details, vehicle registrations, maintenance records, and lease documents require tenant data privacy controls that prevent unauthorized disclosure.

Biometric access data

Biometric Access Data

Fingerprint templates, facial recognition records, and access credentials require restricted permissions, secure processing, and defined deletion procedures.

CCTV and surveillance data

CCTV and Surveillance Data

CCTV footage and incident recordings require appropriate notices, access restrictions, documented retrievals, and enforceable CCTV retention policies.

Lead and partner data

Lead and Partner Data

Enquiry records, site visit histories, and broker databases require controlled broker data sharing and secure transfer mechanisms.

Buyer Data Outlives the Sale. Do You Track It?

KYC files, visitor records, and resident data often stay in systems after their purpose ends.
See where that data lives, who can access it, and what needs review or deletion.
