POOR STANDARDS
I engaged with a property listing through Lightshare and, as part of the application process, was required to provide extensive and highly sensitive personal data. After completing and submitting the application in good faith, I did not receive any meaningful response from the advertiser.
I made repeated attempts to follow up via the Lightshare platform, email, and phone, but no reply was ever received. As a result, my personal information is now being retained without clear purpose or justification.
From a data protection and consumer rights perspective, I believe it is inappropriate for any housing platform or associated advertiser to collect sensitive personal information without transparency, proper communication, or a lawful reason to retain that data. Prospective tenants deserve clear, professional handling of their information, and in this instance I did not feel those standards were met.
