Guidance for Hospitality Industry Professionals
on GDPR Regulations in Newly Released Whitepaper
Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading global provider of
next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, today
announced the release of an HTNG whitepaper on the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR). Stephen Clay, Product Manager,
represented Agilysys in the workgroup assembled to discuss the GDPR
and its impact on the hospitality industry. The workgroup was
coordinated by Hospitality Technology Next Generation (HTNG), a
global not-for-profit trade association.
The GDPR is a law governing personal data, and it will be
enforced starting May 2018. The aim of the law is to protect all EU
citizens from privacy and data breaches in an increasingly
data-driven world. The extended jurisdiction of the GDPR will have
an especially big impact on the business world, as the law will
apply to all companies processing personal data of EU citizens
regardless of the company’s location. Failure to understand and
comply with the GDPR may result in additional risks and significant
financial penalties.
The “GDPR for Hospitality” workgroup has met regularly since its
establishment last year, to discuss the impact that the GDPR will
inevitably have on the hospitality industry around the world. The
aim of the group was to provide guidance for hospitality chains,
trading partners and vendors to navigate the pitfalls associated
with compliance to the updated law.
“Agilysys is passionate about personal data security and we work
to make it as simple as possible for our customers and other
industry professionals to comply with these new regulations,” said
Stephen Clay, Product Manager at Agilysys. “I’m confident that the
workgroup’s whitepaper on GDPR provides the information and
direction that hospitality industry professionals need in order to
prepare and adapt to compliance with the new regulations.”
HTNG is an industry association promoting collaboration and
partnership among hospitality professionals and technology
providers, to foster the development of next-generation solutions
that will enable them to do business globally in the 21st century.
The association is run by IT executives from 22 leading hospitality
companies with the support of industry participants and
partners.
