5.4 Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganisation or sale of all or part of our business, personal data held by the Hotel may be transferred to the relevant successor entity. We will notify you of any such transfer and of any consequent changes to this policy before your data is subjected to different privacy practices.
6. International Transfers of Personal Data
is based in Canada. Some of our service providers maintain infrastructure or personnel outside Canada. Where personal data is transferred outside Canada, we take steps to ensure that an adequate level of protection is applied, consistent with Canadian privacy law. Such steps may include:
- Transferring data only to countries or organisations that the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada recognises as providing comparable privacy protections;
- Entering into contractual arrangements with service providers that require them to apply equivalent standards of data protection;
- Applying technical and organisational safeguards to protect data in transit and at rest.
You may request further information about the safeguards applicable to any particular transfer by contacting us at info@dravellorprestigehotel.com .
8. Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and in accordance with our legal and regulatory obligations. Our general retention standards are as follows:
| Category of data | Standard retention period | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Enquiry and contact-form data (no booking made) | 12 months from last contact | To manage follow-up enquiries; deleted once no longer needed |
| Reservation-request and guest-profile data | 7 years from the date of stay or last stay | Financial record-keeping and tax obligations under Canadian law |
| Marketing preference data | Until consent is withdrawn or 3 years of inactivity, whichever is earlier | To honour your communication preferences and comply with anti-spam obligations |
| Website technical logs and device data | Up to 13 months | Security monitoring and analytics; then deleted or anonymised |
| Cookie consent records | 3 years from the date of consent | Demonstrating compliance with consent requirements |
| Legal correspondence and dispute-related data | 7 years from resolution of the matter | Legal limitation periods under applicable Canadian law |
At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or irreversibly anonymised. Where data must be retained beyond these periods to comply with a specific legal obligation or to defend a legal claim, it will be held in a restricted-access environment and used only for that purpose.
9. Security of Your Personal Data
We take the security of your personal data seriously and have implemented a range of technical and organisational measures designed to protect it against unauthorised access, loss, alteration, disclosure or destruction. These measures include:
- Encryption of data in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols;
- Encryption of sensitive data at rest;
- Access controls that restrict access to personal data to authorised personnel on a need-to-know basis;
- Regular review of our information-security practices and procedures;
- Staff training on data-protection obligations and information-security awareness;
- Contractual requirements on service providers to maintain equivalent security standards.
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use commercially reasonable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at info@dravellorprestigehotel.com .
In the event of a data breach that poses a real risk of significant harm, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance with our obligations under PIPEDA.
