Keeping your data safe

On the 25th of May, The General Data Protection Regulation commonly known as the GDPR, came into play. This new legislation is designed to set for companies on standard for consumer rights on data. Companies will need to be able to show the systems they have put in place to protect consumer data and their privacy.

The legislature is quite broad when defining personal identification information which makes compliance a challenge. Companies will need the same level of protection for things like an individual’s IP address or cookie data as they do for name, address and emails.

How does ResRequest comply with the GDPR regulations?

We are reviewing our processes and putting checks in place to ensure that we are adhering to the new standards.

We use these contact details to send you notifications from us on our system functionality.

ResRequest does have third party platforms which are part of our business service, such as Guest Survey interfaces, Financial Accounts interfaces, connections to Online Travel Agents, Booking Engines, Point of sales systems, Telephone Systems, Payment Gateways and Business Analytics. These systems are dependent on accessing data from our customer’s system to process our customer’s operational needs and an NDA between you and the service provider is recommended.
