  • Consent: When you voluntarily provide information through forms or communications
  • Contractual necessity: To process bookings and fulfill service agreements

  • Legal obligations: To comply with applicable laws and regulations

Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request copies of your personal data. We may charge a reasonable fee for additional copies or excessive requests.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data under certain circumstances, including when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
  • You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data has been unlawfully processed

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, submit a written request via email. We will respond within one month of receiving your request. This period may be extended by two additional months where necessary, considering the complexity and number of requests.

We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access personal data or exercise other rights.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary depending on the type of data:

  • Inquiry records: retained for two years after last contact
  • Booking and transaction records: retained for seven years for legal and tax purposes
  • Marketing communications: retained until you unsubscribe or withdraw consent

International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Canada. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, including standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission where applicable.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Regular security assessments and updates
  • Access controls and authentication requirements
  • Staff training on data protection practices

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours and will notify affected individuals without undue delay.

Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe our processing of your personal data violates GDPR. Contact information for your local supervisory authority can be found on the European Data Protection Board website.

Changes to This Statement

We may update this GDPR compliance statement to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post updated versions on this page with a revised date.
