Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But we figured you'd wanna know what happens with your info when you book a stay or browse around our site. We've tried to keep this pretty straightforward and honest about what we collect and why.
When you're booking a room or signing up for our wellness programs, we're gonna need some basics. Nothing too invasive, just what's necessary to make sure your stay goes smoothly.
We're not collecting data just for kicks. Here's what we actually do with it:
Processing your reservations, confirming bookings, sending you itineraries and updates about your stay.
Making sure we've got your room ready, dietary needs sorted, spa appointments scheduled - the actual hospitality part.
Reaching out about your reservations, answering questions, or occasionally letting you know about special offers (you can opt out anytime).
Analyzing trends to make our services better, understanding what guests enjoy most, fixing what's not working.
We take security pretty seriously around here. Our heritage building might be historic, but our data protection is totally modern.
Real talk though: No system is 100% foolproof. We do everything we can to keep your data safe, but can't guarantee absolute security. That's just being honest with you.
We're not in the business of selling your data. Period. But sometimes we do need to share info with partners who help us run things:
Partner Type | Why We Share |
---|---|
Payment Processors | To handle credit card transactions securely |
Booking Platforms | If you book through third-party sites, they'll have your info too |
Service Providers | Email services, analytics tools, customer support software - the tech that keeps us running |
Tour Operators | When you book outdoor adventure tours through us |
Legal Authorities | Only if required by law or to protect rights and safety |
Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are little data files that help our website work better and remember your preferences.
Essential Cookies: These keep the site functional - like remembering what's in your booking cart. Can't really turn these off if you wanna use the site properly.
Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how people use our site. We use this to improve navigation and content. You can disable these in your browser settings if you want.
Marketing Cookies: Track your activity to show relevant ads. These are optional and you can opt out through cookie preference settings.
Most browsers let you control cookies. Check your browser settings if you wanna manage or block them.
Your data, your rules. Here's what you can do:
We don't keep your information forever. Here's the general timeline:
After these periods, we'll either delete or anonymize your data so it can't be traced back to you.
Our services aren't directed at kids under 16. If you're a parent and think your child has given us personal information, please contact us immediately and we'll delete it. We don't knowingly collect data from minors without parental consent.
We're located in Canada and operate under Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA, for those who care about acronyms). If you're visiting from elsewhere, your information might be processed here in Canada where our servers and offices are.
For EU guests: We respect GDPR rights even though we're not technically required to. You've got the same data rights listed above, and we treat your information with the same care.
Sometimes we gotta update this policy - whether it's because of new laws, new services, or just improving how we do things. When we make significant changes, we'll let you know via email or a prominent notice on our website. The "Last Updated" date at the top will always show when the latest version went live.
We're happy to explain anything that's unclear or address any concerns you've got. Don't be shy about reaching out.
