Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Kythral Quintaris Resort & Spa. Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a real snooze-fest, but this stuff actually matters. We've tried to make this as straightforward as possible because you deserve to know exactly what we do with your information.

When you book a stay with us, grab a spa treatment, or even just browse our website, we collect certain information. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it safe. We're committed to transparency here - no hidden agendas or fine print tricks.

By using our services or website, you're agreeing to this privacy policy. If something doesn't sit right with you, we'd love to hear about it before you check out.

Information We Collect

We're gonna be real with you - running a luxury mountain resort means we need certain details to make your stay amazing. Here's what we typically gather:

Personal Identification Details

Your name, email address, phone number (because we need to confirm bookings and reach you)
Mailing address and billing information (for reservations and invoices)
Date of birth (sometimes required for age-restricted services or special occasions)
Government-issued ID when checking in (it's a legal thing, plus security)
Payment card details (processed securely through our payment partners)

Reservation & Preference Info

Booking history, room preferences, special requests (like those extra pillows you love)
Dietary restrictions and allergies (crucial for our dining experiences)
Spa treatment preferences and health considerations
Activity bookings and equipment rentals
Loyalty program participation and reward points

Technical & Website Data

IP address, browser type, device information
Pages you visit, time spent on our site, clickstream data
Cookies and similar tracking tech (more on this below)
Location data when you permit it

Communication Records

Emails, phone calls, and chat conversations with our team
Feedback, reviews, and survey responses
Social media interactions when you tag or mention us

How We Use Your Information

We don't just collect data for the heck of it. Every piece of information serves a purpose in making your experience better. Here's the breakdown:

Service Delivery

Processing reservations, managing your stay, coordinating spa appointments, handling dining reservations, organizing activities, and basically making sure everything runs smoothly during your visit.

Personalization

Remembering your preferences so we can surprise you with thoughtful touches. If you loved that particular wine last time, we'll remember. Prefer a higher floor? We've got it noted.

Communication

Sending booking confirmations, pre-arrival info, occasional updates about special offers or events (only if you've opted in), and responding to your questions or concerns.

Payment Processing

Handling transactions, preventing fraud, managing refunds, and keeping financial records (as required by Canadian law).

Improvement & Analytics

Understanding how guests use our facilities, identifying areas for improvement, analyzing trends, and developing new services based on what you actually want.

Legal Compliance

Meeting our obligations under Canadian hospitality laws, tax regulations, health and safety requirements, and other legal stuff we can't avoid.

Information Sharing & Disclosure

We're not in the business of selling your personal info - that's just not our style. However, running a resort requires working with trusted partners. Here's when and why we might share your data:

Service Providers & Partners

We work with carefully vetted companies that help us operate - payment processors, booking platforms, email service providers, maintenance companies, activity coordinators, and laundry services. These folks only get access to the information they need to do their job, and they're contractually bound to protect it.

Business Transfers

If Kythral Quintaris were ever sold, merged, or restructured (not planning on it, but you never know), your information would likely be part of that transfer. We'd make sure any new owner respects this privacy policy.

Legal Requirements

Sometimes we're legally required to share information - like if there's a court order, government request, or legitimate safety concern. We'll only share what's absolutely necessary and we'll try to notify you unless we're prohibited from doing so.

With Your Consent

If we want to share your info for any other reason, we'll ask you first. Pretty simple.

Data Security Measures

We take security seriously - like, really seriously. Your information is protected through multiple layers of security:

Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit (using SSL/TLS) and at rest. Your payment info never touches our servers unencrypted.
Access Controls: Only authorized team members can access guest information, and only when there's a legitimate reason. We track who accesses what.
Regular Audits: Our systems undergo regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities.
Staff Training: Everyone on our team receives privacy and security training. They know the drill.
Secure Facilities: Physical records are locked down tight, and our digital infrastructure is hosted with enterprise-grade security providers.

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

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Like pretty much every website out there, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind (though we serve those too). These are small files that help our website work better and remember your preferences.

Types of Cookies We Use

Essential Cookies

These keep the website functioning. Without them, things just won't work properly - like maintaining your booking session or keeping you logged in.

Performance Cookies

Help us understand how visitors use the site - which pages are popular, where people spend time, what might be confusing. All anonymized data.

Functional Cookies

Remember your preferences like language choice, accessibility settings, or previous searches.

Marketing Cookies

Track your visit across different sites to show relevant ads. You can opt out of these anytime through your browser settings.

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. You can refuse cookies or delete existing ones, though this might limit some website features. Check your browser's help section for instructions.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian privacy laws (particularly PIPEDA), you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal information. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you. We'll provide it within 30 days.

Correct Inaccuracies

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it promptly.

Delete Your Information

Request deletion of your data (with some legal exceptions, like financial records we're required to keep).

Opt Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails anytime. There's a link at the bottom of every marketing email we send.

Data Portability

Get your data in a commonly used format to transfer elsewhere if you want.

Lodge a Complaint

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can file a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

To exercise any of these rights, just reach out to us at reservations@kythralquintaris.info or call (604) 555-0147. We'll verify your identity and process your request as quickly as possible.

Children's Privacy

We love hosting families, but our website and direct booking services aren't designed for kids under 13. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent.

If you're a parent and discover that your child has provided us with personal information without your consent, please contact us and we'll delete it promptly. When minors are part of a family booking, we collect only what's necessary for the reservation and their safety during the stay.

For any activities or services with age restrictions (like certain spa treatments or adventure activities), we'll verify age appropriately and obtain parental consent where required.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

Look, things change - new laws get passed, we add new services, technology evolves. When we need to update this privacy policy, we'll post the revised version here with a new "Last Updated" date at the top.

For minor changes (like clarifying wording or fixing typos), we'll just update the policy. For major changes that significantly affect how we handle your data, we'll notify you via email or with a prominent notice on our website before the changes take effect.

We recommend checking this page occasionally, especially if you're a regular guest. Continuing to use our services after changes are posted means you're cool with the updated policy.
