The number of travelers has grown rapidly in the last 20 years, keeping the industry busy. From flights to hotel reservations, guests seek personal experiences for their getaways and having a hotel property management system (PMS) is more important than ever. While the PMS can help creating a personalized experience for each guest, the latest EU legislation might keep hoteliers worried of how much data can you keep and use. That brings us to the question- is your hotel GDPR compliant? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nTaking physical copies of your guests documents is now officially a thing of the past- many ID\u2019s contain more data, for example, place of birth, which is not necessary to a hotel for a check in. Additionally, your guests must be informed for what and how long the data is going to be kept and used. This is where the Passport Scan comes in- it scans the data which is necessary for the check in and automatically fills the form. The data is being kept on the hotel PMS for a fixed amount of time, completely up to date with the GDPR.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
