APPI compliance for a booking site
Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Japan). This page applies it to one kind of product (booking site), so you get the obligations that are actually yours instead of a summary of the whole statute.
Does it apply to you?
Businesses handling personal information of people in Japan.
What a booking site typically processes
- reservation details and contact data
- deposits or payments through a processor
- reminders by email or SMS
Each of these is processing you have to disclose. Adding an SDK later adds to this list — which is why a policy written once goes stale.
Documents you need
The intersection of what APPI requires and what a booking site actually does:
- Privacy policy
Rights you must honour
APPI gives people in Japan the right to:
- Access a copy of their data
- Correct inaccurate data
- Have their data deleted
- Object to certain processing
- Receive their data in a portable format
Cookies and trackers
Trackers may load by default, but the visitor needs a working way to opt out, and you must honour it.
