2.3 Customer Data You Upload
As part of operating your business on HospitPro, you upload or generate customer data: guest names, phone numbers, email addresses, booking histories, dietary preferences, and payment records. You are the Data Fiduciary for this data. HospitPro processes it solely on your instructions.

We automatically collect: IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, features used, session duration, and error logs. This data is used to improve the platform, debug issues, and detect abuse.

10. Children's Privacy
HospitPro is a B2B SaaS platform intended exclusively for business owners and their staff. The platform is not designed for, marketed to, or intended to be used by persons under 18 years of age.

11. WhatsApp & Communications
HospitPro offers optional WhatsApp notification features powered by the Twilio Business API (Meta-approved BSP). When you enable WhatsApp notifications:
- Your customers' phone numbers are transmitted to Twilio solely to deliver the notification
- Message content is determined by you (e.g., booking confirmation, gym membership expiry reminder)
- Twilio processes the data under their privacy policy and your WhatsApp Business policy agreement
- You are responsible for obtaining your customers' consent to receive WhatsApp messages under applicable regulations
- Opt-out requests from customers should be honoured by disabling notifications for that phone number in your HospitPro settings
HospitPro also sends transactional emails for: subscription renewal reminders, invoice delivery, GST package exports to your CA, and password reset. These are non-promotional and cannot be unsubscribed from (they are essential service communications).
12. Razorpay & Payment Data
HospitPro integrates with Razorpay in two modes:
- Platform payments (our subscriptions): We use Razorpay to process your subscription fees. Razorpay handles all card and UPI data. We receive only the payment ID and status.
- Razorpay Route (your customer payments): If you enable Razorpay Route, your customers' payments flow directly to your linked bank account. HospitPro facilitates the routing but does not hold funds. This requires you to complete Razorpay's KYC and sign their merchant agreement.
If you add your own Razorpay API keys to HospitPro, those keys are stored AES-256 encrypted in our database and are used solely to initiate payment orders on your behalf. We never use your Razorpay keys for any other purpose.
⚠ Important
13. Multi-Tenant Architecture
HospitPro is a multi-tenant SaaS platform where multiple businesses share the same infrastructure. We implement strict tenant isolation to ensure your data is never accessible to other businesses:
- Every database query includes a mandatory
businessIdfilter — it is structurally impossible to retrieve another business's data - API routes verify session ownership before every data operation
- Staff members are scoped to their employer's business and cannot access data from other businesses
- Database access is through a connection pool with read-only replicas; no raw database credentials are exposed to application code
✅ Good to know
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our platform evolves, new features are added, or legal requirements change. When we make significant changes:
- We will notify you via email at least 14 days before changes take effect
- We will display a prominent notice on your dashboard
- The “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be updated
- The version number will be incremented (currently v2.1)
Continued use of HospitPro after the effective date of changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. If you do not accept the changes, you must stop using the platform and request account deletion.
