Service Providers

We work with third-party companies that help us operate, like:

  • Payment Processors: To handle your credit card and payment transactions securely
  • Technology Providers: For website hosting, email services, and booking systems
  • Marketing Partners: To help us send newsletters and promotional materials (only if you've opted in)

Business Transfers

If we're ever involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We'll notify you if this happens.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request. We'll also share info when necessary to protect our rights, property, or safety - or yours.

With Your Consent

In situations not covered above, we'll always ask for your permission before sharing your personal information with third parties.

Cookies aren't just delicious snacks - they're also small files that websites store on your device. We use them to make your browsing experience smoother and more personalized.

Types of Cookies We Use
  • Essential Cookies: These are necessary for the website to function. Without them, you can't book rooms or use key features. They're non-negotiable.
  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our site so we can improve it. These track things like which pages are most popular.
  • Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences (like language settings) so we don't have to ask every time.
  • Marketing Cookies: Track your visit across websites to show you relevant ads. You can opt out of these.
Other Tracking Technologies

We also use web beacons, pixel tags, and similar tech in our emails and on our website. These help us know if you've opened an email or visited a particular page.

Managing Your Cookie Preferences

Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings. You can block all cookies, accept only certain ones, or get notified when a cookie is set. Just keep in mind that blocking essential cookies might break some website features.

Your data belongs to you, and Canadian privacy laws (specifically PIPEDA - the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act) give you some pretty solid rights. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Information

You can ask us for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We'll provide it in a readable format, usually within 30 days.

Correct Inaccurate Data

If something we have on file is wrong, let us know and we'll fix it. You can update most of your info through your account settings, or just shoot us an email.

Delete Your Data

You can request that we delete your personal information. We'll honor this unless we're legally required to keep it (like for tax or legal purposes). Past booking records might need to stick around for a bit.

Opt Out of Marketing

Not interested in our promotional emails? No hard feelings. Click the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or contact us directly. You'll still get transactional emails (booking confirmations, etc.) since those are necessary.

Object to Processing

In certain situations, you can object to how we're using your data. We'll stop unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue.

Data Portability

You can request your data in a structured, commonly-used format that you can transfer to another service provider.

Lodge a Complaint

If you're not happy with how we've handled your data, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. We'd appreciate a chance to make things right first, though.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at: reservations@lumaretofhspire.info or call (604) 287-4591

We take security seriously - like, really seriously. We've implemented industry-standard measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

Technical Safeguards
  • Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit (using SSL/TLS) and at rest
  • Secure Servers: Our systems are hosted on secure servers with firewalls and intrusion detection
  • Regular Security Audits: We conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing
  • Access Controls: Only authorized personnel can access personal data, and access is logged
  • Payment Security: We're PCI DSS compliant, which is the gold standard for payment card security
Organizational Measures
  • Staff training on data protection and privacy
  • Strict confidentiality agreements with employees and contractors
  • Data breach response plan (just in case)
  • Regular backups to prevent data loss
Your Role in Security

Security is a team effort. Here's what you can do:

  • Choose strong, unique passwords for your account
  • Don't share your login credentials
  • Log out after using shared or public computers
  • Be cautious of phishing emails claiming to be from us
  • Keep your contact information updated

That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If you notice any suspicious activity, contact us immediately.

We're based in Canada, but some of our service providers might be located in other countries. This means your data could be processed or stored outside of Canada.

Where Your Data Might Go

Our primary operations are in Canada, but we use some services hosted in:

  • United States (cloud hosting, payment processing)
  • European Union (certain software providers)
How We Protect International Transfers

When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

  • We only work with service providers that offer adequate data protection
  • We use standard contractual clauses approved by privacy authorities
  • We ensure compliance with applicable data protection laws
  • We regularly review our international data transfer practices

Different countries have different privacy laws. When your data is transferred to another country, it'll be subject to that country's laws. We've done our homework to make sure our partners maintain strong privacy standards wherever they're located.

Our services are designed for adults, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.

Family Bookings

When families book with us, we collect information about children as part of the reservation (names, ages, dietary restrictions, etc.). This info is provided by parents or guardians and is only used to provide services during your stay.

Parental Rights

If you're a parent or guardian and believe we've inadvertently collected information from your child, please contact us. We'll promptly review and delete any such information.

Parents have the right to:

  • Review any personal information we've collected about their child
  • Request deletion of their child's information
  • Refuse to allow further collection or use of their child's information

Privacy laws evolve, our business grows, and sometimes we need to update this policy to reflect those changes. When we do, we'll make sure you know about it.
