DPDP training for Hospitality
Guest ID copies, passport scans and CCTV footage pile up fast at the front desk and rarely get deleted.
What personal data do Hospitality teams handle?
The Hospitality programme starts with the data your people actually touch, so every lesson feels like their own job.
- ID & passport copies
- Guest registers
- Payment slips
- CCTV footage
- Travel plans
- 01Aadhaar photocopies kept in an unlocked drawer.
- 02The guest list shared with a tour vendor “for convenience”.
- 03Handling requests for CCTV footage.
What does DPDP expect from Hospitality teams?
ID copies: collect, use, delete
Keep guest ID copies only as long as the purpose and the law require, and store them where access is controlled.
CCTV is personal data
Footage of identifiable people needs access limits, a retention period and a clear process for requests.
Vendors get a purpose, not the guest list
Tour operators and travel agents need a defined purpose and a contract before any guest data changes hands.
