The new decree requires hotels to collect excessive personal data, violating the principles of data minimization and purpose limitation. This measure introduces unjustified mass surveillance, turning unnecessary information for the service into a latent risk of data breaches and penalties, while questioning its real effectiveness against organized crime. The government’s argument regarding security lacks practical robustness, as criminals use ephemeral methods that are difficult to trace. Therefore, compulsory data collection proves to be more of a tool for state control than for protection, fostering a culture of passivity and normalizing the loss of privacy under the fallacy of transparency. This regulation is relevant to open data because it sets a dangerous precedent where the State prioritizes the accumulation of private information over ethical transparency and the protection of rights. It invites the data community to oppose mass data collection without a clear purpose, defending privacy as a fundamental pillar against the State’s hoarding of information for future, indeterminate uses.
