PRIVACY POLICY
Dear Traveller:
Your privacy is important to us. This policy tells you what information we gather
about you, how we would use it, to whom we may disclose it, how you can opt out
of the collection, use or disclosure of your personal information, and how to
get access to the information we may have about you.
Collecting Information
We collect information about travellers such as name, address, phone number,
e-mail address, web site, interests and preferences. We may collect the information
from you directly, or from a member of your family. We may obtain it by telephone,
in person, by mail, by fax or by e-mail. We may keep the information in written
form or electronically.
By providing this information to us, you enable us to serve you. Many times,
travellers provide us with their contact information so that we may send them
a copy of our Traveller’s Companion directory, which they have requested.
Using Information
We use the information collected to fulfill your requests, to perform market
research, to promote our association’s consumer products, and to provide further
information to you about our members and our province. We will retain your
personal information only for as long as required by law or as necessary for
the purposes
for which it is collected. Your personal information will not be used for other
purposes without your consent.
Disclosing Information
We will not disclose any personal information collected about you to anybody
else, unless required to do so by law, except when we provide the information
to firms we retain to assist us in forwarding additional information to you.
If our members request it, we may provide this information to them so that they
may send you information that they feel will be of interest to you. We will not
otherwise sell, transfer or trade any mailing list which includes your information.
We will comply with all laws which require us to supply the information to government
agencies and others.
Keeping Information Secure
We will keep written information in a secure place in a locked cabinet. If the
information is stored electronically, it will be password-protected and available
only to those members of our staff who require it.
Access to Information
If you wish to review the personal information we keep about you, please contact
our Privacy Officer at the address set out below. At your request, subject to
applicable law, we will delete your personal information from our records.
Obtaining Your Consent
By providing personal information to us, you are consenting to us using it for
the purposes set out above and disclosing it to the parties described above.
If you do not want us to use any personal information about you, or wish to limit

Privacy Officer at the address set out below by mail, fax or e-mail.
