🛑 The Hidden Danger Behind “Free” Society Apps
In 2025, nearly every gated community in India uses a digital visitor management system. But most residents never stop to ask:
- Where is my data going?
- Who can see my entry/exit logs?
- Are ads targeting me based on location or behavior?
If your society is using apps like MyGate or NoBrokerHood, the uncomfortable answer might be:
Yes, your private data could be exposed.
🔍 What Data Are These Apps Collecting?
Without most users realizing, app-based visitor systems may store or process:
- Name, phone number, and flat number
- Daily visitor logs and timings
- Delivery partner activity (Zomato, Amazon, etc.)
- Number plate of vehicles
- Approvals, rejections, and remarks
- In-app behavior and ad click data
If the app is monetized by advertisements or 3rd-party services, this data can be:
- Shared with advertisers
- Used for retargeting
- Stored in unsecured or foreign databases
⚠️ Real Complaints from Users (Play Store Reviews)
📱 “Too many ads! I’m worried what they’re doing with my info.”
📱 “Why does my society app need so many permissions?”
📱 “Getting spam calls after registering—coincidence?”
These are not just annoying—they’re privacy red flags.
🧾 How to Know If Your Society App Is Unsafe
Ask these 5 questions:
| ✅ Question | 🚨 If Answer Is “Yes”... You’re at Risk |
|---|---|
| Does the app show ads inside the resident dashboard? | Your data is likely being monetized |
| Are you required to approve entries via the app only? | The system tracks your presence |
| Is data hosted on unknown or foreign servers? | Jurisdiction becomes unclear |
| Does it require SMS/contacts/camera permissions? | It could be mining unnecessary personal data |
| Does it offer real estate, services, or shopping? | It’s not a security app—it’s a marketplace |

📉 The Cost of Ignoring Privacy
If your current app:
- Tracks your guests
- Shows you ads
- Stores your personal logs
- Sends your data to unknown servers
...it’s not a security app. It’s a data platform disguised as one.
