PrivC
Every conversation we have shapes the Privacy Verification Standard. Follow the work as it happens — and help shape it.
PrivC is currently conducting independent research to better understand how travelers think about privacy, trust, and safety during hotel stays — and how hotels can honestly demonstrate their commitment.
Every conversation, every survey response, every interview contributes directly to the first Privacy Verification Standard (PVS).
