who we are

guestdesk is operated by imperfection.tech. cform is our first product — a tool that helps indian hotels file C-Forms to the FRRO portal at indianfrro.gov.in. we are an independent third-party tool. we are not affiliated with the Government of India, the Bureau of Immigration, or FRRO, and we never claim to be.

our role under the DPDPA, 2023

the hotel is the data fiduciary — they decide why and how guest data is processed. guestdesk is the data processor — we provide the tool that processes it on the hotel's instructions. every hotel signs a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) during onboarding.

what we collect

  • passport details (number, place / date of issue, expiry)
  • visa details
  • contact and address information
  • passport visual zone face crop (image only, for FRRO submission)
  • DPDPA consent records — timestamped per guest

where it lives

all guest data is hosted on indian servers (Mumbai region, ap-south-1). data is encrypted at rest and in transit. role-based access control with row-level security ensures hotels only see their own guests. there is no cross-border transfer of personal data.

how long we keep it

we retain filing records for 5 years to satisfy FRRO requirements. passport and visa images are deleted earlier where feasible. hotels may request earlier deletion in writing; we will comply unless a legal retention obligation prevents us.

your rights as a guest

if you are a foreign guest whose data was filed via cform, you may request access, correction, or erasure of your personal data. contact the hotel that filed your form first — they are the data fiduciary. you may also email us at hello@imperfection.tech and we will route the request appropriately.

breach notification

if we become aware of a personal data breach, we will notify affected hotels without undue delay and within 72 hours, in line with DPDPA expectations.
