Every guest booking leaves behind a trail of personal information.
Think about the last guest who checked into your hotel or guesthouse. You took their name, phone number, Aadhaar copy, and payment details. You sent a booking confirmation on WhatsApp. You stored their invoice. That is already five or six pieces of personal information — from just one guest. Now multiply that by every booking this month. The new data law covers all of it.
You run a hotel, guesthouse, resort, or homestay. Every day you collect guest information. You take Aadhaar copies at check-in. You save phone numbers for WhatsApp updates. You store invoices with GST details. You keep booking records from MakeMyTrip or Booking.com. All this information is now under the DPDPA law. You must store it safely. You must not share it without reason. If something goes wrong, you can face a penalty. Start checking your systems today.
List every place you store guest information — register, WhatsApp, computer.
Tell your front desk staff not to share guest details with anyone outside.
