Hotels in some countries do photocopy passports but it is not "EU Law" that it must be done and in most countries you fill out a registration card and produce your passport as proof of identity. In the UK they only seem to have been interested in my credit card details so they could be paid, but I also reside in the UK. I did a little "Googling" and came up with this which may be of interest. Appendix 1 � Sample letter from DHS Privacy Office to European Data Protection Authority or Ministry of Interior/Justice [Begin Text] I am writing to you to seek your assistance to better understand the [country] approach to third-party, commercial collection of personally identifiable information for law enforcement use. Of particular and immediate interest is the dual use of hotel guest registration information. As you know, Article 45 of the Schengen Convention requires Schengen Member States to adopt measures in order to ensure that hotels collect personal information from guests upon registration and that they retain or forward the information to police for law enforcement and other purposes. For [country], I am interested in domestic legislation apart from applicable EU directives that could shed some light on this example of private � public data sharing. Previously, I have written separately to the European Data Protection Supervisor, the Article 29 Working Party, and [others], seeking information and views from their perspectives. I seek from you now the [agency�s] perspective in this regard and am interested in your interpretation of domestic legislation apart from applicable EU directives that could shed some light on this example of private � public data sharing. My questions are: Hotel Collection of Personal Data � Do hotels in [country] collect personal data from guests to provide to [country] security agencies? o If yes, is this a requirement under federal or state law? Which law or laws govern this collection? o If yes, is such information routinely transferred or made available upon request by the security agency? o If done routinely, how often do these transfers occur? o If yes, are hotels required to notify guests of routine or case-specific transfers? � What personal data is collected? � Is the passport scanned or passport number collected? Are photocopies or images of passports collected? � How long must the hotel retain the personal data? � For this collection, what means of access and redress do individuals have? � In what form is the personal data provided to the police or a security agency (i.e., hardcopy or electronic)? � If in hardcopy format, are there any pilot programs or plans in [country] for electronic transmission of hotel registration data to police or security agencies? � What is the competence of the Data Protection Commissioner with respect to hotel collection of registration personal data? � Must hotels inform the Data Protection Commissioner when transfers are made to security agencies? Security Agency Collection of Hotel Registration Personal Data � What use or uses do the police or security agencies make with hotel registration personal data? � How long is it retained? � Are security agencies required to notify individuals that their hotel registration is being used for a law enforcement or security purpose? � What means of redress do individuals have via the police or the security agency? � Do the police or security agencies in [country] share the personal data with other [country] government agencies, such as the intelligence service? Others? � Do the police or security agencies in [country] share the personal data with third party countries? If so, which? � Does the Data Protection Commissioner have competence with respect to oversight of the security agency�s use of the personal data? Are there any limits to the Data Protection Commissioner�s competence over the police, security, or intelligence agency use of the personal data? � What other oversight bodies are there in [country] that may have competence to oversee the police, security, or intelligence agency use of this personal data? Your clarification of these questions will help me better understand the [country] practice of information sharing between the private and public sectors. Please let me know if there is a point of contact to whom I can address follow-up questions. Warmest regards, Hugo Teufel III Chief Privacy Officer <http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/privacy/privacy_rpt_hotel_int.pdf> The UK is not a "Schengen State". > Due to that restriction most EU hotels go by Mac address and only allow > one machine on at a time. > > Here is a video of what my WTR is doing. > http://tinypic.com/r/2mecz93/6

Data collected includes family and first names, date and place of birth, nationality, and home address. The information is transmitted daily to the police authorities.
