Securing the Traveler's Journey
Tourism involves massive data sharing: you collect data from a customer and share it with airlines, hotels, visa consulates, and local guides.
The Chain of Responsibility
Every time you share a passport copy with a local vendor in another city, you are exposing data. DPDPA requires you to ensure that these "Data Processors" are compliant.
Consent for Visa Processing
Explicitly ask for consent to share data with embassies and visa processing centers. Do not retain passport copies longer than necessary for the trip.
