- Is consent collected before data is used for the stated purpose?
- Can consent be withdrawn without breaking the entire account flow?
Tracking and profiling
- Do you track usage, performance, attention, behavior or drop-offs?
- Is any of this used for ads, recommendations or nudges?
- Are analytics tools collecting user identifiers?
Vendors and SDKs

Frequently asked questions
Are physical visitor logbooks exempt from DPDP?
No. DPDP applies to personal data collected in any form if it is later digitized. Most FM firms transfer paper logs into digital reports, making those records subject to the law.
Can we share staff background checks with building owners?
Only if the staff gave specific consent to share their data with that specific client. General consent in an employment contract is usually insufficient for third-party sharing.
How long can we keep CCTV footage under DPDP?
You must define a specific retention period based on security needs, such as 30 or 90 days. Keeping footage indefinitely without a documented security reason violates purpose limitation rules.
