Internet companies based in Italy must follow some of the strictest privacy laws in Europe. In 2003, a new law known as D:L.vo 196/2003 laid down stringent guidelines for companies to follow, which include but are not limited to....
- Personal data only being used in accordance with the reservation, amendments to and the accountancy of the booking.
- The publication of information about hotels & resorts made in good faith.
