Withdrawing consent may affect our ability to complete reservations, communicate important travel information or provide certain services.

5Children's and Family Travel Information
We are proud to help families create meaningful travel experiences and lasting memories.
Family travel arrangements frequently require information about children, including their names, ages, dates of birth, identification details and specific travel needs.
We generally collect information about children from their parent, legal guardian or another person authorized to provide that information.
For children under 13, we seek consent from a parent or guardian, except where another approach is permitted by applicable law.
For older minors, we consider their ability to provide meaningful consent and applicable legal requirements.
We do not knowingly use children's personal information for independent marketing purposes without appropriate authorization.
Information about children is collected and shared only as reasonably necessary for travel arrangements, safety, requested accommodations or other disclosed and lawful purposes.

- Regulatory, legal or governmental authorities where required or permitted by law
We limit the information shared to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
Travel suppliers may have their own privacy policies and legal obligations. Once information is received by an independent supplier, that supplier may process it under its own privacy practices and applicable laws.
We encourage guests to review the privacy policies of the suppliers involved in their travel arrangements.
We do not sell or rent guest personal information to third parties for their independent marketing purposes.
7Our Travel Advisors and Guest Confidentiality

Our advisors are expected to respect guest confidentiality and handle personal information responsibly.
Access to guest information should be limited to authorized individuals who require it to perform their duties.
Our advisors and personnel are expected to follow applicable agency privacy, confidentiality and information-security requirements.
Guest information must not be used for unauthorized personal purposes or disclosed to unrelated third parties.
We remain committed to maintaining appropriate oversight of personal information handled on behalf of our agency.
8International Travel and Cross-Border Information Transfers
Because we arrange travel throughout the world, your personal information may need to be transferred to, accessed from or processed in countries outside Canada.
For example, a cruise line, airline, resort, insurance provider or technology service provider may operate internationally.
Privacy laws in other countries may differ from those in Canada. Information processed abroad may be accessible to courts, law enforcement or governmental authorities under the laws of that jurisdiction.
We seek to use appropriate contractual, organizational and technical safeguards when transferring personal information to service providers acting on our behalf.
Where international privacy laws impose additional requirements, we will take reasonable steps to meet those requirements.
We aim to be transparent about international information transfers that are necessary to arrange and support your travel.
9Protecting Your Personal Information
Safeguarding guest information is an important part of our commitment to responsible travel planning.
We use administrative, technical and organizational measures appropriate to the sensitivity of the information, which may include:
- Access-controlled booking and customer management systems
- Password protection and account security controls
- Secure payment processing arrangements
- Encryption and secure communications where supported
- Limiting information access to authorized personnel
- Confidentiality expectations for advisors and service providers
- Appropriate handling of sensitive travel and identification documents
- Reviewing privacy and security concerns as they arise
Although we take reasonable precautions, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
We encourage guests to avoid sending highly sensitive personal or payment information through unsecured communication channels.
10Privacy Incidents and Data Breaches
We take suspected or confirmed privacy and security incidents seriously.
If we become aware of an incident involving personal information under our control, we will take appropriate steps to investigate, contain the incident, assess potential risks and implement corrective measures.
Where required by applicable law, we will notify affected individuals and the appropriate privacy or regulatory authorities.
We will maintain records of privacy breaches where legally required.
Our priority is to respond responsibly and protect the interests of affected guests.
11Retention and Secure Disposal of Information
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to:
- Provide requested travel services
- Maintain booking and transaction records
- Support guest inquiries or resolve disputes
- Meet applicable legal, tax, accounting and regulatory obligations
- Address legitimate business requirements
Different categories of information may have different retention periods.
When personal information is no longer required, and no legal obligation requires continued retention, we will securely delete, destroy or anonymize it as appropriate.
Requests for deletion will be considered in accordance with applicable legal obligations and operational requirements.

Automated Security Checks on Our Forms
Our quote and contact forms are protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, an invisible security check that separates real visitors from automated bots. It runs quietly in the background when a form is submitted: there is no puzzle to solve and nothing extra to click.
To perform that check, Cloudflare collects a limited set of technical signals from your browser, including your IP address, TLS fingerprint, browser user agent, and the site key and web address of the form you are using. Turnstile may also store a short-lived token in your browser so the same check does not have to be repeated. Cloudflare uses these signals only to detect and block bots on our behalf and to improve its bot detection, and states that they are not used to identify, profile, or target individuals.
Full details are set out in the Cloudflare Turnstile Privacy Addendum, which supplements the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.
