Sound Familiar?

GDPR Risks in Your Current Visitor Process

Paper Visitor Books Expose Personal Data

Anyone can read previous visitor names, contact details and host information simply by flicking back through the sign-in book.

No Lawful Basis for Data Capture

Visitor data is collected on paper without any documented consent or explanation of how it will be used or retained.

No Data Retention or Deletion Process

Old visitor books are filed away indefinitely with no process for reviewing or deleting records after the retention period expires.

No Record of Data Breaches

If a visitor book is lost or accessed by an unauthorised person, there is no audit trail to support an ICO notification.

Our Approach

A Digital Visitor System Built for UK GDPR Compliance

Visitor Data Is Captured With Consent and Stored Securely

The sign-in system presents your data privacy notice at check-in and records consent, storing all visitor data in a secure, access-controlled digital environment rather than a paper book.

Automatic Retention Policies Delete Records on Schedule

You configure a retention period and the system automatically purges records after that window closes, removing the risk of holding data longer than is lawful or necessary.

Access Controls Ensure Only Authorised Staff See Records

Role-based access means visitor data is only visible to the people in your organisation who have a legitimate need for it, with all access itself logged for audit purposes.

Why is a paper visitor book a GDPR risk?

A paper visitor book displays the personal data of every visitor to subsequent visitors. It lacks consent documentation, has no defined retention period and provides no audit trail if data is accessed without authorisation.

What lawful basis applies to collecting visitor data?

For most organisations, visitor data is collected under legitimate interests, typically site security and safety. The sign-in system documents this in a privacy notice presented to every visitor at check-in.

How long should visitor records be retained?

Retention periods vary by sector and purpose, but most organisations retain visitor records for between 30 days and 12 months. Our system allows you to set and automatically enforce your chosen retention period.

Can visitors request deletion of their data under the right to erasure?

Yes. Our system allows you to locate and delete individual visitor records on request, supporting your obligations under Article 17 of UK GDPR without manual searching through paper logs.

What should we do if our paper visitor book is lost or accessed by an unauthorised person?

Under UK GDPR, a loss of personal data may constitute a reportable breach. We can provide documentation templates and guidance on ICO notification timelines. Switching to a digital system with audit trails significantly reduces this exposure going forward.
