How does GDPR play into the requirement to store passport numbers?
- ryanlol 8y agoIt plays. The way these hotels are doing this maybe probably isn't GDPR compliant, but the same applies to vast amounts of other things. Hard to share any very useful insights on this, it's just the state of most things.
- akshatpradhan 8y agoCan GDPR be used as an audit mechanism for breached passport numbers? And if so, what would that process look like? Can hotels be fined if they’re found to not be GDPR compliant?

I'm not quite sure what you mean, but the answer is probably no. >Can hotels be fined if they’re found to not be GDPR compliant? Sure, but is anyone GDPR compliant yet? I'd imagine that all the DPAs in EU are extremely busy right now.
- Xylakant 8y agoIf there’s a legal requirement to store passport numbers you can store them. It’s one of the cases where you don’t need consent. You still have to store them in a safe fashion and the customer still retains most of the rights under GDPR (information about what you store and for which purpose, etc.)
