Privacy Policy

We take your privacy seriously - here's how we handle your info

Last Updated: January 2024

Our Commitment to Your Privacy

Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the thing: at Aerilon Quinthar, your trust means everything to us. So we're gonna be straight with you about what information we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it.

This policy applies when you book a room, use our spa services, dine at our restaurant, or just browse our website. If you're in Canada (which, hey, you probably are since we're in beautiful Whistler), you've got some solid privacy rights under Canadian law, and we're totally committed to respecting them.


What Information We Collect

Here's what we typically gather when you interact with us:

Personal Details
  • Your name, email, phone number, and mailing address
  • Payment info (credit card details, billing address)
  • Date of birth if you're booking certain experiences or spa treatments
  • Passport or ID info if required for international guests
  • Emergency contact details - just in case
Reservation & Stay Info
  • Check-in/check-out dates and room preferences
  • Special requests like dietary needs or accessibility requirements
  • Services you use during your stay (spa appointments, dining reservations, adventure activities)
  • Feedback and reviews you share with us
Technical Stuff
  • IP address and device information
  • Browser type and how you navigate our site
  • Cookies and similar tracking tech (more on this below)
  • WiFi usage data when you're connected at the resort

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of collecting data just for kicks. Everything we gather serves a purpose:

Processing Your Reservations

Confirming bookings, managing room assignments, handling payments, and making sure everything runs smoothly during your stay.

Personalizing Your Experience

Remembering your preferences, tailoring recommendations, and making your next visit even better than the last one.

Communication

Sending booking confirmations, updates about your reservation, responding to inquiries, and occasionally sharing special offers (only if you've said it's cool).

Improving Our Services

Analyzing trends, understanding what guests love (and what needs work), and continuously upgrading our facilities and services.

Legal & Safety Reasons

Meeting legal obligations, preventing fraud, ensuring guest and staff safety, and protecting our property.


Who We Share Your Info With

We don't sell your personal information - full stop. But there are some situations where we need to share it:

  • Service Providers: Companies that help us operate - payment processors, booking systems, email services, IT support. They're contractually obligated to protect your data.
  • Business Partners: Sometimes we work with tour operators, activity providers, or transportation services to enhance your experience. We only share what's necessary.
  • Legal Requirements: If the law requires it, or if we need to protect rights and safety, we may disclose information to authorities or in legal proceedings.
  • Business Transfers: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or sale, your information might be transferred to the new owners (but your privacy rights stay intact).

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website work better and remember your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use:
  • Essential Cookies: Necessary for the site to function - can't really turn these off.
  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors use our site so we can improve it.
  • Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and choices for a smoother experience.
  • Marketing Cookies: Track your browsing to show relevant ads. You can opt out of these.

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. Just keep in mind that blocking some types might affect how well the site works for you.


How We Protect Your Information

We take security pretty seriously around here. Your information is protected with industry-standard encryption, secure servers, and strict access controls. Our staff is trained on privacy best practices, and we regularly review our security measures.

That said, no system is 100% foolproof. We do our absolute best, but we can't guarantee complete security. If you notice anything suspicious, let us know right away.

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary - typically for the duration of your relationship with us plus whatever's required by law (usually about 7 years for financial records).


Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (specifically PIPEDA), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information:

Access

Request a copy of the personal info we have about you.

Correction

Update or correct any inaccurate information.

Deletion

Ask us to delete your data (subject to legal requirements).

Opt-Out

Unsubscribe from marketing communications anytime.

To exercise any of these rights, just reach out to us using the contact info below. We'll respond within 30 days (or sooner if we can swing it).


Third-Party Websites

Our website might link to other sites - tour operators, local attractions, that sort of thing. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. We're not responsible for their privacy practices, so check out their policies if you're concerned.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't directed at kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you're a parent and think we might have info about your child, let us know and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this policy from time to time as our practices evolve or laws change. When we do, we'll post the updated version here and adjust the "Last Updated" date at the top. For major changes, we'll try to give you a heads-up via email or a notice on our website.

Your Trust Matters

We know privacy policies can be a bit dry, but this stuff matters. If anything here doesn't make sense or you want more details about how we protect your information, seriously - just ask. We'd rather explain it in plain language than have you wondering.
