Privacy Policy

How We Keep Your Information Safe & Sound

Last Updated: January 2024

Quick Note From Us

Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a snooze-fest. But here's the deal: we actually care about your privacy. We've tried to make this as straightforward as possible because you deserve to know exactly what happens with your info when you stay with us or browse our site.

What We Collect

When you book a room or reach out to us, we'll need some basics - your name, email, phone number, and payment details. Pretty standard stuff. If you're using our spa or dining services, we might collect preferences to make your experience better next time around.

How We Use It

We use your information to handle reservations, process payments, send confirmation emails, and occasionally let you know about special offers (only if you're cool with that). We're not in the business of spamming folks or selling data to random third parties.

Information Collection & Use

Personal Data You Give Us

When you're making a reservation, signing up for our newsletter, or just getting in touch, here's what we typically collect:

  • Contact info (name, email address, phone number)
  • Billing and payment information
  • Passport or ID details (required for check-in, Canadian law and all that)
  • Special requests or preferences (allergies, room preferences, celebration occasions)
  • Guest reviews and feedback
  • Communication history with our team
Stuff We Collect Automatically

Like most websites these days, we use cookies and similar tech to understand how people use our site. This includes:

  • IP address and browser type
  • Pages you visit and how long you stick around
  • Device information
  • Referring website (how you found us)

This helps us figure out what's working and what needs fixing on our website.

How We Protect Your Data

We take security seriously around here. Your payment information is encrypted using industry-standard SSL technology. We don't store full credit card numbers on our servers - that's handled by our secure payment processors who are certified and way more paranoid about security than most people.

Our staff only has access to the information they need to do their jobs. We've got firewalls, secure servers, and regular security audits to keep everything locked down tight.

Who We Share Information With

We're not gonna sell your email to some sketchy marketing company. But there are a few situations where we share your info:

Service Providers

Payment processors, email services, booking platforms - the folks who help us run the hotel smoothly. They're bound by confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it or we need to protect our rights, prevent fraud, or respond to legal processes. Hopefully that never happens, but gotta cover our bases.

Business Partners

Sometimes we work with local tour operators or event planners to enhance your stay. We'll only share what's necessary and with your permission.

Emergency Contacts

In case of emergencies during your stay, we may need to contact the people you've listed as emergency contacts.

Cookies & Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies - and not the chocolate chip kind (though we have those in our restaurant). These little data files help us remember your preferences and improve your browsing experience.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but heads up - some parts of our website might not work as smoothly. We use both session cookies (temporary) and persistent cookies (stick around longer) to remember things like your language preference and items in your booking cart.

We also use analytics tools like Google Analytics to understand visitor patterns. This data is anonymized and helps us make the website better for everyone.

Your Rights & Choices

Your data, your rules. Here's what you can do:

  • Access: Want to know what info we have about you? Just ask.
  • Correction: Spot something wrong? We'll fix it right away.
  • Deletion: Want us to delete your data? We can do that (unless we're legally required to keep it).
  • Opt-Out: Don't want marketing emails? There's an unsubscribe link in every email we send.
  • Data Portability: You can request a copy of your data in a portable format.

To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at reservations@tandrelquinthorix.info or call us at (604) 555-0187.

Data Retention

We keep your information for as long as needed to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Generally speaking:

  • Reservation and billing records: 7 years (tax and accounting requirements)
  • Marketing preferences: Until you tell us to stop or we notice you're not engaging anymore
  • Website analytics: 26 months max
  • Guest feedback and reviews: Indefinitely (helps us improve), but anonymized after 3 years

Children's Privacy

Our website and services aren't directed at kids under 16. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children. If you're a parent and think your child has given us their info, please get in touch and we'll delete it promptly.

International Transfers

We're based in Canada, and your information is processed and stored on Canadian servers. If you're visiting us from another country, your data might cross borders. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international data transfers, in compliance with Canadian privacy laws and international standards.

Third-Party Links

Our website might link to other sites - local attractions, partner businesses, that sort of thing. Once you click through to another site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. We can't control what those sites do with your information, so check out their privacy policies if you're concerned.

Policy Updates

We might update this policy from time to time as we add new services or as privacy laws evolve. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know via email or a notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always reflect the most recent version.

We encourage you to check this page occasionally to stay informed about how we're protecting your information.

Questions or Concerns?

If something in this policy doesn't make sense, or if you've got concerns about how we're handling your information, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help and we take your privacy seriously.
