1 Apr 2026 IRE Pty Ltd (InspectRealEstate, Plattform 2Apply)2Apply operator IRE: order over excessive and unfair collection of renters’ data Order
The Privacy Commissioner found that the rental application platform 2Apply collected more personal information than necessary from March 2020 to March 2025, such as gender, student status, citizenship, visa expiry and previous living arrangements, and did so unfairly through design techniques such as “confirmshaming”, biased framing and bundled consent. The determination requires IRE to stop this collection within 60 days, engage an independent reviewer and report to the OAIC within twelve months on implementing the recommendations.
Online forms may only request necessary data and must not push users into disclosure through design tricks.
