Over past few weeks, there have been serious concerns related to data privacy of Visitors, specially Guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main concern<\/a> was the personal Contact Details of the Guests that gets stored in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Association’s Database<\/li>
  2. Central Visitor Database maintained by few Visitor Management systems.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    ADDA has always refrained from #2. We have never maintained central Visitors database. There is no justification of why a Guest’s phone number should become available to all Apartment Complexes without their consent or even knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In any case, we listened to the concern of #1 as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So if your Apartment Community is using ADDA GateKeeper, you can pre-enter your guest in your ADDA app – WITHOUT ENTERING THEIR PHONE NUMBER AT ALL!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Guest receives the OTP and just provides that at the Gate. The Guard does not ask for Phone Number, because there’s no Phone number field for pre-authorised guests! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
