# 2018-08-15 - Booking ## Summary We reviewed progress on the booking API specification and several recent additions, including: * Support for exposing terms and conditions and privacy notices * Support for cancellations and refunds The key conclusions are that: * we need to add support for privacy notices, in addition to terms and conditions * we should consider how best to provide this, often service level information, in ways that minimises repetition of data * we need to support marketing opt-in information * we need to be careful around conformance language re: marketing opt-in, etc to ensure that we are inline with current GDPR and marketing email guidance * that as not all platforms support refunds, we cannot mandate refund/cancellation support, but it will be recommended * there is a need to include windows during which cancellations/refunds can be accepted, and whether cancellations are allowed, to improve user experience of bookings * we also agreed to review how URL discovery is currently specified to ensure we're avoiding need to replicate data in feeds ## Slides {% embed url="" %} ## Video {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
