Privacy Policy

How we look after your personal information

Last updated: January 2024

Look, we get it - privacy policies can be a real snooze-fest. But here at Jade Quintharos Hotel, we're pretty serious about protecting your info. So we've tried to keep this straightforward and honest about what we collect and why.

Who We Are

We're Jade Quintharos Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel and wellness resort located at 1250 Robson Street, Vancouver, BC V6E 1C2, Canada. When we talk about "we," "us," or "our" in this policy, that's who we mean. Simple enough, right?

What Information We Collect

When you book a stay or use our services, we're gonna need some details. Here's the rundown:

  • Personal stuff: Name, email, phone number, home address - the basics for getting in touch and confirming your reservation.
  • Payment details: Credit card info or other payment methods. Don't worry, we use secure payment processors for this.
  • Stay preferences: Room type, dietary requirements, spa appointments, special requests - anything that helps us make your visit better.
  • ID documents: Sometimes we need to see government-issued ID for check-in, especially for international guests.
  • Communication records: Emails, phone calls, chat messages - basically any time you reach out to us.
  • Website activity: IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on site. Pretty standard website stuff.

Quick note: We'll never sell your personal information to third parties. That's just not our style.

Why We Need Your Info

We're not collecting data just for kicks. Here's what we actually do with it:

Managing Reservations

Processing bookings, confirming your stay, handling check-in and check-out.

Personalizing Service

Remembering your preferences so we can make your next visit even better.

Staying Connected

Sending confirmations, updates, and responding to your questions.

Improving Experience

Understanding how guests use our facilities so we can keep getting better.

Cookies & Tracking

Yeah, we use cookies - and not the chocolate chip kind. These little digital trackers help our website work properly and remember your preferences. Most browsers let you control cookies through their settings if you're not cool with them.

We use cookies for things like keeping you logged in, remembering your language preference, and understanding which pages are most popular. Nothing too invasive.

Who Gets to See Your Data

We keep your information pretty close to the chest, but sometimes we need to share it with:

  • Service providers: Payment processors, booking platforms, email services - the folks who help us run the hotel smoothly.
  • Legal requirements: If the law says we gotta share something, well, we gotta comply. Think court orders or legal investigations.
  • Business partners: Sometimes we work with local tour operators or transportation services to enhance your stay - only with your permission, though.

All these third parties are contractually obligated to keep your info secure and only use it for the specific purpose we've outlined.

How We Protect Your Information

Security's a big deal for us. We use industry-standard encryption, secure servers, and restricted access to keep your data safe. Our staff's trained on privacy practices, and we regularly review our security measures.

That said, no system's 100% foolproof. We do our absolute best, but it's good to be smart about your own security too - use strong passwords, don't share login details, that kind of thing.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't hang onto your information forever. Here's the general timeline:

  • Reservation data: Kept for up to 7 years for accounting and tax purposes (Canadian law requires this).
  • Marketing communications: Until you tell us to stop, or if you haven't engaged with us in 3 years.
  • Website data: Analytics data's typically kept for 2 years.
  • Security footage: CCTV recordings are kept for 30 days unless needed for an investigation.

Your Rights

Under Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA), you've got some solid rights:

  • Access your personal information we hold
  • Request corrections if something's wrong
  • Ask us to delete your data (with some legal exceptions)
  • Opt out of marketing communications anytime
  • Withdraw consent for data processing
  • File a complaint with the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

Marketing Communications

We'd love to keep you in the loop about special offers, events, and news from the hotel. But it's totally your call. You can opt out anytime by:

Just so you know, opting out of marketing won't affect important communications about your bookings or stay.

Third-Party Links

Our website might link to other sites - local attractions, partners, that sort of thing. Once you click through to another site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore. We'd recommend checking out their privacy policies too.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't directed at kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from children. If you're a parent and think we might have info about your child, please reach out and we'll delete it pronto.

Changes to This Policy

Look, things change. We might update this policy from time to time to reflect new practices or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and let you know about any major changes. It's worth checking back occasionally to stay in the loop.

Questions or Concerns?

If you've got questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help and we take this stuff seriously.
