1. Who we are
PropStackX is a software product owned and operated by PropStackX Technologies LLP(referred to in this policy as "PropStackX", "we", "us" or "our"), a limited liability partnership constituted under the laws of India.
- Email: admin@propstackx.com
- Phone: +91 90632 21287
- Website: propstackx.com
We process personal data in accordance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDPA), the Information Technology Act, 2000and the rules framed under it (including the IT (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) Rules, 2011 — the "SPDI Rules"), and the CERT-In Directions, 2022 on cyber-incident reporting and log retention.
2. What this policy covers
This policy applies to:
- Visitors to propstackx.comand any sub-domain we operate (the "Marketing Site").
- Users of the PropStackX admin console, partner portal, mobile apps, APIs and any other software we publish under the PropStackX brand (the "Platform").
- People who contact us by email, phone, demo form, support channel or social media.
This policy does notcover the practices of our customers (real-estate developers and brokers who use PropStackX — we call them "Tenants"). Tenants decide why and how end-customer personal data is collected and processed on the Platform. If you are a homebuyer, lead, or channel-partner customer dealing with a developer, please refer to that developer's privacy notice for how your data is used. We process such data only on the developer's instructions, as their Data Processor.
3. Our role under DPDPA
The DPDPA distinguishes between a Data Fiduciary (the person who decides the purpose and means of processing) and a Data Processor (a person who processes personal data on behalf of a Fiduciary). Our role depends on which set of data is involved:
| Data set | Our role | Fiduciary |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing-site visitors, demo requests, contact-form submissions | Data Fiduciary | PropStackX |
| Tenant signup info, tenant user accounts, billing & GST data | Data Fiduciary | PropStackX |
| Leads, prospective buyers, allottees, residents and any contacts a Tenant uploads or captures via PropStackX | Data Processor | The Tenant (real-estate developer) |
| Channel partners onboarded by a Tenant | Data Processor | The Tenant |
| Service logs, security telemetry, fraud signals across the Platform | Data Fiduciary (legitimate use under DPDPA s.7) | PropStackX |
Where we are the Processor, we will only act on the Tenant's documented instructions (typically embedded in our subscription contract and the Platform configuration). We do not sell, mine, re-use or train any AI model on Tenant-controlled data without explicit consent.
4. Information we collect
4.1 From Marketing-Site visitors
- You give us: name, business email, mobile number, company, role and the message you send via demo, contact, pricing and newsletter forms.
- We observe: IP address, approximate location inferred from IP, browser, device, referring page, the pages you view, and timestamps. We use Vercel Analytics, which collects aggregated, cookieless usage data.
4.2 From Tenants and Authorised Users on the Platform
- Account & profile: name, work email, mobile number, role, designation, hashed password, profile photo (if uploaded), and the Tenant organisation you belong to.
- Tenant business data: registered name, GSTIN, PAN, billing address, bank account details for payouts (encrypted with AES-256-GCM at rest), authorised signatory and project registration details.
- Activity & audit: login IP and device, session history, actions you perform inside the Platform (creating leads, updating stages, sending messages), permission grants and changes. These feed an audit log we are required to maintain.
4.3 From end-customers (processed for the Tenant)
- Leads & buyers:name, email, mobile, source, interest, budget, preferred locations, site-visit notes, KYC documents (where the developer collects them at booking — typically PAN, Aadhaar reference, address proof), payment milestones, unit allotment and any free-text notes the Tenant's sales team records.
- Channel partners: firm name, RERA registration number, PAN, GSTIN, bank account (encrypted), KYC documents, commission ledger.
- Conversations:email, SMS and WhatsApp content sent and received via the Platform's messaging modules, along with delivery, read and bounce signals returned by our messaging sub-processors.
4.4 What we do not collect
- Card / UPI numbers: Payments are processed by third-party payment gateways. We receive only the transaction reference and status. We never store full card numbers, CVVs or UPI PINs.
- Passwords in plaintext: Passwords are hashed (Argon2 / bcrypt class). Even our engineers cannot read them.
- Sensitive special-category data (health, biometrics, religion, caste) — we do not solicit it. Aadhaar numbers, where collected by Tenants for KYC, are masked in our UI.
5. How and why we use it
We process personal data only for the purposes below, each of which is permitted under DPDPA s.4 (consent) or s.7 (legitimate use):
- Delivering the Platform. Authenticating you, showing you the right data, sending the messages you ask us to send, generating reports, and keeping the service running.
- Customer support. Answering tickets, debugging an issue you report, and contacting you about your account.
- Billing and tax compliance. Issuing GST-compliant invoices, maintaining records under the GST Act and the Companies Act, 2013.
- Security and abuse prevention. Detecting fraud, credential-stuffing, account takeover, abusive sending patterns, and complying with CERT-In directions on incident reporting.
- Service improvement. Aggregated, de-identified usage analytics that help us improve features. We do not use Tenant-controlled customer data to build product features for other Tenants without explicit, written consent.
- Legal obligations. Responding to lawful requests from Indian authorities, retaining audit trails required by RERA, GST and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (where applicable to KYC for property bookings).
- Marketing — only with consent. We send product updates and marketing emails only to people who opt in. Every marketing email contains a one-click unsubscribe link. We do not sell or rent contact lists.
7. Cross-border transfers
Our primary application servers and customer database are hosted in India. Some of our sub-processors (notably edge CDN, email and WhatsApp delivery) operate from data centres outside India. When your data is transmitted to such providers we rely on:
- DPDPA s.16, which permits transfers to any country other than those notified by the Central Government as restricted (we will stop transfers to a country if and when it is notified);
- Contractual safeguards with each sub-processor that bind them to equivalent protections; and
- Encryption in transit (TLS 1.2 or higher) and, for sensitive fields, encryption at rest (AES-256-GCM).
For data that is restricted by sectoral regulators (for example, payment-system data under the RBI's 6 April 2018 directive), we ensure the data and its processing remain in India.
8. How long we keep data
| Category | Retention | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Active Tenant account & configuration | Lifetime of the subscription | To deliver the service |
| Tenant data after subscription ends | 90 days grace period for export, then deletion within a further 30 days | To allow lawful, orderly handover |
| Billing, invoice and GST records | 8 financial years | GST Act & Companies Act, 2013 |
| Channel-partner KYC records | 5 years after the partner relationship ends | PMLA, 2002 record-keeping |
| RERA-relevant transaction trail (allotments, payments) | 5 years after project closure | RERA, 2016 audit retention |
| Application logs & security telemetry | 180 days minimum (CERT-In) | CERT-In Directions, 2022 §IV |
| Backups | 35 days rolling | Disaster recovery |
| Marketing-site contact-form submissions | 24 months from your last interaction | To follow up on enquiries |
Where the law requires us to keep data longer than the periods above (for example, in the case of an ongoing investigation), we will retain the minimum necessary copy and isolate it from active use.
9. Security
We follow reasonable security practices and procedures within the meaning of section 43A of the IT Act and Rule 8 of the SPDI Rules. Our controls include:
- Encryption in transit: TLS 1.2+ for every connection to the Platform and the Marketing Site.
- Encryption at rest for sensitive fields: AES-256-GCM for bank account numbers, PAN, GST credentials and third-party API keys. Other application data sits on encrypted managed storage.
- Access control: Role-based access with permission-level granularity. Production access is restricted to a small named team and gated by SSO and multi-factor authentication.
- Audit trail: Every privileged action is logged with the actor, timestamp, IP and affected resource.
- Tenant isolation: Every business record is keyed by an account identifier. Application code reads it from the authenticated session — never from the request body — and a request that crosses tenants returns a 404, not a 403, to avoid leaking that the resource exists.
- Patch & vulnerability management: Dependency scanning on every build; critical patches applied within 7 days.
- Incident response & CERT-In reporting: If we suffer a reportable cyber incident, we will notify CERT-In within 6 hours of becoming aware, and notify affected Tenants and the Data Protection Board of India in line with DPDPA s.8(6) without undue delay.
No system is perfectly secure. If you spot a vulnerability, please email admin@propstackx.com — we take responsible disclosure seriously and will not pursue legal action against good-faith researchers.
10. Your rights
Subject to DPDPA s.11–14 and SPDI Rule 5, you have the following rights in relation to personal data we hold about you:
- Right to access: Ask for a summary of the personal data we process about you and the identities of any other Data Fiduciaries with whom we have shared it.
- Right to correction and erasure: Ask us to correct inaccurate data or erase data that is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.
- Right to grievance redressal: Use our grievance mechanism (section 14) to raise concerns. We will acknowledge within 48 hours and resolve within 30 days.
- Right to nominate: Nominate another individual to exercise these rights on your behalf in case of your death or incapacity.
- Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw any consent you have given. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.
- Right to opt out of marketing: Use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or write to us at admin@propstackx.com.
If you are a customer of one of our Tenants (for example, a homebuyer who provided your details to a developer who uses PropStackX), please exercise your rights with that developer. They are the Data Fiduciary. If you write to us, we will forward your request to the relevant Tenant within 7 days and assist them in fulfilling it.
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, to make sure we are not handing your data to someone else.
12. Children
PropStackX is a business tool. It is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 years of age and we do not process the personal data of a child for tracking, behavioural monitoring or targeted advertising. If you believe a child's personal data has been collected through our services, contact us and we will delete it.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our service evolves or as the law changes. Material changes will be notified to Tenants by email and posted on this page at least 15 days before they take effect. The "Last updated" date at the top of the page always reflects the current version. Continued use of PropStackX after a change means you accept the updated policy.
14. Grievance Officer & contact
We have appointed a Grievance Officer in line with section 5 of the IT (Intermediary Guidelines) Rules and section 13(3) of the DPDPA. The Grievance Officer also doubles as our point of contact for any DPDPA query.
Grievance Officer / Data Protection Contact
Name: Deepak Kumar

This policy is governed by the laws of India. Disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, without prejudice to your statutory consumer-forum rights.
