However, while making this notification, <strong>storing the guest's ID image (photo, photocopy, or scanned image) in the system constitutes a violation of the \"proportionality and data minimization\" principles of the GDPR<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can hotels perform identity verification legally and complete police notifications fully, while ensuring complete compliance with personal data protection legislation?<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">At this point, <strong>Kimlikpro<\/strong> stands out with its regulation-friendly solution that digitalizes reception processes.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is the Era of \"ID Photocopies\/Images\" in Hotels Over?<sup><\/sup><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In evaluations regarding the tourism and hospitality sector, personal data protection laws in certain countries have defined taking photocopies of guests' <sup><\/sup> identity cards or passports and archiving these files as <strong>unnecessary data storage<\/strong> and a <strong>high security risk<\/strong>.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ID images recorded in hotel management systems (PMS) or computers:<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lead to large-scale data breaches in the event of a potential cyberattack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Can result in high administrative fines imposed by law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Causes a loss of trust on the part of the guest.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The only thing accommodation facilities need is <strong>the accurate extraction of the text data on the physical document and the data in the identity chip, and transmitting them to the hotel and local security systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kimlikpro ile Saniyeler \u0130\u00e7inde, Foto\u011frafs\u0131z Check-In<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check-In in Seconds, Without Photos, Powered by Kimlikpro<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. No ID Image \/ Photo Is Stored<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Kimlikpro <strong>does not capture or save the image\/photo<\/strong> of the chip-enabled ID card or passport placed on the device. It only reads the text data required for official declaration directly from the identity chip (First Name, Last Name, ID\/Passport No, Date of Birth, biometric photo, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Not OCR, Contactless and Direct Chip Reading: Kimlikpro NFC Technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Traditional optical character recognition (OCR) systems attempt to read the text on identity cards using a camera. This method can require an image processing\/scanning step and may lead to reading errors on worn-out documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Kimlikpro, on the other hand, is not an OCR solution; it directly utilizes NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that communicates contactlessly with the chip.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Having the reception staff manually type identity information into the hotel system is both time-consuming and prone to clerical errors. Kimlikpro decodes the data on the document <strong>in seconds<\/strong> and transfers the verified information directly into the system.<sup><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Integration with Hotel Management Systems (PMS)<sup><\/sup><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kimlikpro can fully integrate with the hotel management software (PMS) you use via your provided APIs. It introduces no extra data processing or storage steps in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 Key Advantages Kimlikpro Provides to Hotel Businesses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Advantage<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Traditional OCR Methods<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>with Kimlikpro<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Compliance<\/strong><\/td><td>Copy\/Image Storage Risk<\/td><td>100% Compliant (Image-Free Reading)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Check-In Time<\/strong><\/td><td>2\u20135 Minutes per Guest<\/td><td class=\"translation-block\">Completed <strong>in Seconds<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Data Accuracy<\/strong><\/td><td>Risk of manual typing errors<\/td><td>Zero-error automatic reading<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Reception Desk Congestion<\/strong><\/td><td>Long waiting queues<\/td><td>Fast and seamless reception experience<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comply with Regulations While Boosting Guest Satisfaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">When digitalizing in the hospitality sector, complying with legal regulations is not a choice, but a necessity.<sup><\/sup> Thanks to the Kimlikpro identity reader device, in your hotel you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protect your guests' personal data at the highest level.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eliminate the risk of penalties during GDPR compliance audits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speed up your reception operations to offer guests a modern and professional welcome from the very first moment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">You, too, can discover Kimlikpro solutions today to transition your hotel to a <strong>fully GDPR-compliant, photo-free, and ultra-fast<\/strong> check-in process.<sup><\/sup><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Instantly read ID cards and passports during hotel check-in in seconds using an NFC-enabled identity reader. <\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2467,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-2466","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kimlik-okuma-cihazi","tag-otel-kimlik-okuma"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2466","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2466"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2466\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2468,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2466\/revisions\/2468"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2467"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2466"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2466"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kimlikpro.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2466"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
