Can I use guest email addresses for a newsletter?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Use requires a lawful basis and compliance with applicable consent, privacy, and marketing rules, plus relevant platform restrictions. A booking contact does not automatically authorize unrelated promotion. Have the process reviewed appropriately and provide required controls.

Collect only necessary information and describe actual usage. Do not add guests to a list merely because their address appears in reservation records.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
