I had recently been to Hampi. I had stayed at a hotel for two days.
At the time of checking I provided to the hotel manager all my
details including my name and phone number. Now I had not mentioned
about my Hampi visit on any public platform. Yet yesterday I received
a sms on my mobile saying “Hi Mahesh, HolidayIQ will contact you
for review of XXX Guest House. You can also provide it at (the link
to Holiday IQ page of that hotel)”
Now I had never told anyone about my stay at the said hotel or my
visit to Hampi? So how did HolidayIQ come to know about my visit and
my stay? What business HolidayIQ had to contact me asking for rating
of the said hotel? Had that hotel owner shared my details with
HolidayIQ? What is evident is that both the hotel and HolidayIQ are
indulging in unethical practices to increase their database and
visibility.
HolidayIQ either you have spied on me or you have infringed my
privacy or both. You cannot escape this. You are guilty. I advice all
the millions of travellers to beware of HolidayIQ. This time they
have got access to my phone and location. Next God knows what.
