I imagine this will probably be mostly duplicate data from last years data breach. What a continual mess.

On the bright side, nobody else is booking hotels anymore so they have time to fix their systems this time around.

> contact details, loyalty account information and additional personal details such as gender and birthdays

I'm always wondering why a random service would need a date of birth (apart from validating "the person is an adult"). Some of them give you a special promo for your birthday, but I guess I can live without that.

Except banking & government services, I typically provide a fake one if required, because, WTF?
