Are you an open book? Your digital life might be telling more than you think

A few weeks ago, Sanjay Lal, a resident of Gurugram’s DLF Phase 3 towers, started a movement in his gated society against the usage of apps like MyGate, NoBrokerhood, and ADDA Gatekeeper. He had recently contested in the Haryana assembly elections as an independent candidate, and would have people from all walks of life come and meet him at his residence. Lal alleged in media reports that his privacy was breached when information about who all were visiting his place was made available to his neighbours through one such gate app. Since then, he’s been pushing the society’s association to cancel its agreement with the app they use.
