Most hotel owners only think of the front desk. That is a big mistake.

You think guest information comes only from your front desk. But it starts much earlier. A guest books on MakeMyTrip or Booking.com. Their name, phone number, and email go to that app first. Then it comes to you. By the time they walk in, their information has already moved through many hands. If something goes wrong, the new data law says you are responsible.
Think about one guest's stay. They booked on Goibibo. You got their phone number. At check-in, you copied their Aadhaar. They ordered food by calling reception. They paid by UPI and got a GST invoice. After checkout, you sent a WhatsApp asking for a review. That is seven different places where their information was collected. Under the new DPDP law, you must know each place. You must protect each one. You cannot ignore even one.
