Transparency & Consent for Retail, Hospitality, and Venues
These days, with increasingly connected devices, homes, cars and public places, privacy has become is a major concern for consumers. Retailers routinely use a variety of technologies to drive sales and reduce losses – video surveillance, in-store wi-fi and phone tracking, iBeacons, loyalty apps and smartcards. Hospitality venues make extensive use of video surveillance for security purposes.
CCPA and GDPR requires companies that gather private data using these technologies to provide visitors with clear and convenient explanations of how their private data is collected, stored, shared, and protected. Unfortunately, the vast majority of retailers, restaurants, hotels and sporting venues do not currently have any electronic method in place for delivering this privacy notice.
In addition to the possibility of a large fine for non-compliance with CCPA and GDPR, this situation leaves venues at risk for litigation if an individual or class claims their privacy was violated without any notice or consent. Venues that do not offer visitors legal disclaimers for privacy and risk are at an extreme disadvantage if a class action privacy, risk or security lawsuit is ever filed against them.

This software ‘toolkit’ contains a long list of interoperable software solutions for a wide variety of situations that are required to comply with CCPA and GDPR.
