In the interest of transparency, and in line with the EU AI Act, here is exactly how Hotel Tech News uses artificial intelligence. Last updated: 16 July 2026.
Hotel Tech News is an independent editorial digest of the hotel technology and travel tech industry. We use AI to help us:
AI assists. People decide. Every published piece is produced under human editorial oversight and carries a visible "produced with the support of AI" label.
Publishing is not fully automatic. A hybrid safeguard holds a draft back for manual review whenever it touches a sensitive date, carries a strong opinion, or rests on fewer than two sources. The editor can rewrite, correct or unpublish any piece at any time. Opinions in the digest are the author's, offered as editorial commentary, not as statements of fact.
We rely on third-party AI providers to run the models that draft, translate, illustrate and narrate our content. We send them public source material and our own instructions. We do not send them your personal data, and they do not use our prompts to train models on you. Processing is transient and governed by each provider's data-processing terms.
We do not train AI models on readers' personal data. Your subscription email is used only to deliver the digest, always with a double opt-in and a one-click unsubscribe. Our audience analytics run without cookies and without personal identifiers. We keep your email only while you stay subscribed.
AI can make mistakes, omit context or misread a source. Treat the digest as a starting point and verify anything critical with the original source, which we always cite and link. If you spot an error, tell us at our contact form and we will correct or remove it quickly.
Our content often mentions real companies and people in hotel tech and travel tech (software vendors, hotels, OTAs, airlines, startups and investors). When a claim could harm a named party, we attribute it to a real third-party source or qualify it (reportedly, according to, allegedly) rather than state it as bare fact. If you are mentioned and something is wrong, you have a right of reply and correction: write to us and we will act.
The cartoons and comic strips are created by AI as editorial or satirical illustration. They are drawings, not real photographs, and they do not depict real events literally. The "listen" audio is a synthetic voice, not a real person.
Hotel Tech News makes no automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you (GDPR Article 22).
Some links or blocks may be sponsored or affiliate. They are always labeled as such, and they never change what we choose to cover or how we cover it.
You can unsubscribe at any time with one click. You can also ask us to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, at our contact form.
As our use of AI evolves, we update this page and its "last updated" date so it always matches what we actually do.
