This Privacy Policy applies to Canadian Hotel Guide.com, (the "website").
What This Privacy Policy Covers:
This policy covers how we treat personal information that we collect and
receive, including information related to your use of our products and services.
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable
like your name, address, email address, or phone number, and that is not
otherwise publicly available. Of course, this policy only applies to the
practices of this website and not to websites that we do not own or control,
or to people that we do not employ or manage.
Why We Have A Privacy Policy
We take your privacy very seriously.
We believe that you should understand how we use the information you provide
and furthermore that you should have the right to approve the use of that
information.
Normal Website Usage
You may visit the website to access travel-related information, without
telling us who you are or revealing any personal information. The only data
we collect and store during normal website usage is typical web server log
data. Examples of this type of data are: the name of your Internet service
provider, the site that referred you to us, any pages you request, and the
time and date of those requests etc. We do not collect any unique information
about you (such as your name, email address, etc.) except when you specifically
and knowingly provide such information.
We use this information to generate statistics and measure site activity
to benefit the website users. This same information may be shared with third
parties in order to provide these services or to analyze, store, or aggregate
the information. It may also be shared with other third parties, working
with us to improve our products and services, or this website.
We want you to get the most out of the website and to trust that we make
every effort to protect your confidentiality. Personal information is either
requested or required on many areas of the website, to verify your identity
and ensure that you qualify to use particular sections of the site. The
amount and type of information received depends on how you use our site.
The information may be stored and used in order to enhance our relationship
with you.
Collection, Use and Disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information In
using the varied features of the website, you may provide information (such
as name, contact information, or other registration information) to us or
to our service providers, or other businesses you contact through the use
of the website. We and these entities may use, (and you agree to such use)
this information and technical information about your use of this web site,
or communicate separately with you.
We will use your information (including your personal information) for
the following general purposes: to customize the advertising and content
you see, fulfill your requests for products and services, improve our services,
contact you, conduct research, and provide anonymous reporting for internal
and external clients.
We may share information about you with our advertisers, business partners,
sponsors, and other third parties. However, we only divulge aggregate information
about our users and will not share your personal information with any third
party without your express consent. We will not disclose your personal information,
except as described herein, and we will not disclose information to others
that would connect any personal information with your actual identity unless
we are compelled to by law. In our sole discretion we still reserve the
right to make exceptions, whenever we believe an emergency, illegal activity
or some other reasonable basis exists for notifying or disclosing your personal
information to the appropriate authorities. Also, we reserve the right to
disclose your personal information to any potential purchaser of our business.
Cookies
In addition, we may place information on your computer in the form of "cookies"
to customize your experience the website. A "cookie" is a small
line of text that is stored within your browser when you visit a cookie-enabled
website. As you browse the Web, cookie-enabled sites will send cookies to
your browser, along with pages. Your browser probably has options that will
let you control whether the browser accepts cookies, rejects cookies, or
notifies you each time a cookie is sent to you.
If your browser is set to reject cookies, cookie-enabled websites will
not recognize you when you return. This provides you with anonymity, but
it also makes it very difficult to offer you customized services. It is
also less secure than using cookies, because all of your specific data must
be sent to the website each time you view a page. Accepting cookies means
your private data can stay at the Web server, and the only information transmitted
over the Internet is your ID cookie.
If your browser is set to accept cookies, any cookies that are sent to
your browser are stored in your computer for a period of time. There are
a few different types of cookies. A "session" cookie is stored
only in your computer's working memory (RAM) and only lasts for your browsing
session. When you close all of your browser's windows, or when you shut
down your computer, the session cookie disappears forever. A "permanent"
cookie is stored on your computer's hard drive until a specified date, which
could be tomorrow, next week, or 10 years from now. Permanent cookies stay
on your computer until either they expire, they are overwritten with newer
cookies, or you manually remove them.
Unsubscribe Policy
If we send you any electronic newsletters, you may unsubscribe at any time
by following the instructions contained at the end of every newsletter.
Privacy Statement Revisions
A revised privacy statement will only apply to data collected subsequent
to its effective date on this version of the web site. Any revisions will
be posted at least 7 days prior to its effective date. New versions of this
website may have a new privacy statement effective with its launch.
