RentTech Platforms Pushing Privacy Limits | Sydney News

New laws in Victoria aimed to curb invasive rental screening by limiting what platforms can ask for—but RentTech apps are still slipping through the cracks, demanding excessive personal data that’s often irrelevant to renting. Despite growing privacy concerns and a recent review exposing intrusive practices like screening tests and reward programs, renters remain trapped with few alternatives, forced to comply even when it feels like their data is being weaponized. While Victoria leads, similar loopholes persist nationwide—in NSW and SA, companies still collect unnecessary info and exploit legal gray areas. The result? A digital age where tech adapts just enough to stay legal, but rarely prioritizes your privacy.
