Guest WiFi, explained in plain English
The questions venues ask before they switch guest WiFi marketing on: what a captive portal is, what you may collect and send, how the login page should read and when to ask for a review. These are reference pages: when the facts change, the page changes, rather than a new post being written.
Where should I start?
If you are new to it, read what a captive portal is, then how WiFi marketing works. If you already run guest WiFi, start with the privacy rules and what guest data to collect, because those decide what the login page may ask.
