Learn the Security Risks & Privacy Regulations Around PII at HT-NEXT
As the hospitality industry embraces new technologies to achieve operational efficiency, and deliver a personalized guest experience, the need for privacy and security of personally identifiable information (PII) will grow as rapidly as the availability and use of data. In this data driven environment, hoteliers must know how to secure not only the basic identifiers like names, emails, addresses and phone numbers, but other PII that will be available in ever increasing quantities such as persistent identifiers, location and tracking, and personal preferences.
Along with security risks, come privacy regulations and compliance. During breakout session #6 at #HTNEXT titled: "Getting Smart About PII: A Legal & Logistical Roadmap to Protect from Privacy and Security Risks," two experts will help attendees devise a roadmap for handling personally identifiable information. Cathy Zatloukal, Wireless Professional, 5thGenWireless Consulting, LLC and Richard Sheinis, Partner, Hall Booth Smith, P.C. will offer real-life examples of what’s classified as PII, how to identify what is and isn’t, plus the risks of not properly doing so. This deep-dive will also include the nuts and bolts of smart vendor partnerships and what hoteliers need to ask of their technology partners.
