Privacy Policy

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But since you're staying with us and trusting us with your info, we figured you deserve to know exactly what we're doing with it. We've tried to keep this as clear and jargon-free as possible. Think of this as a conversation between us about how we're keeping your data safe and sound.

Alright, here's what we're gathering when you book a room or interact with our services:

Personal Stuff: Your name, email, phone number, and address. Pretty standard booking info that we need to actually, you know, book your room.
Payment Details: Credit card info and billing address. Don't worry - this goes through encrypted payment processors, not stored on a sticky note somewhere.
Stay Preferences: Room type you like, whether you're allergic to down pillows, if you prefer extra towels - the stuff that makes your stay better.
Smart Room Data: Yeah, our voice-activated tech learns your lighting and temperature preferences. It's opt-in though, and you can wipe it anytime.
Website Activity: We track how you navigate our site using cookies - helps us figure out what's working and what's confusing folks.
Communication Records: Emails, calls, and chats with our team. We keep these to improve service and resolve any issues that might come up.

We're not in the business of selling your data to random third parties. Here's what we actually do with it:

Process Your Reservations: Can't book you a room without your info. This includes confirmations, check-in, and billing.
Personalize Your Experience: Remember your preferences so you don't have to tell us every single time you visit.
Communicate Important Stuff: Booking confirmations, special requests updates, and occasional promotions if you've opted in.
Improve Our Services: Analyze trends to figure out what guests love and what needs work.
Security & Fraud Prevention: Protect both you and us from sketchy activities.
Legal Compliance: Sometimes we gotta share info to comply with laws - taxes, legal proceedings, that sort of thing.

Not the edible kind, unfortunately. These digital cookies help our website remember you and work better:

Essential Cookies: Keep the site functional - like remembering items in your booking cart. Can't really turn these off without breaking stuff.
Performance Cookies: Help us understand which pages get visited most, where people get stuck, loading times - all anonymous data.
Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences like language choice or login details.
Marketing Cookies: Track your browsing to show relevant ads. You can opt out of these if they're not your thing.

You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or that banner that popped up when you first landed here. Just know that blocking some cookies might make the site less functional.

We're pretty selective about who gets access to your information. Here's the short list:

Payment Processors: Secure third-party services that handle credit card transactions. They've got their own strict security standards.
Service Partners: Companies that help us operate - like our booking system provider, email service, and cloud storage. They're contractually obligated to keep your data safe.
Marketing Platforms: Only if you've opted into promotional emails. We use services like Mailchimp to send newsletters.
Legal Authorities: If we're legally required to - court orders, government requests, that kind of scenario.
Business Transfers: If we ever merge with or get acquired by another company, your data would transfer (but still be protected under this policy).

We don't sell your personal info to data brokers or advertisers. That's not how we roll.

Security's a big deal for us. Here's what we're doing to keep your data locked down:

Encryption: All sensitive data gets encrypted both in transit (SSL/TLS) and at rest. Your info's scrambled if anyone tries to intercept it.
Access Controls: Only authorized staff can access personal data, and they're trained on privacy practices.
Regular Security Audits: We test our systems regularly for vulnerabilities and patch 'em quick.
Secure Infrastructure: Our servers are hosted in certified data centers with physical security measures.
Data Minimization: We only keep what we need and delete stuff when we don't need it anymore.

That said, no system's 100% hack-proof. We do our best, but if there's ever a breach, we'll let you know right away.

It's your data, and you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

Access: Ask us what personal info we have about you. We'll give you a copy within 30 days.
Correction: If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.
Deletion: Want us to delete your data? We can do that (unless we're legally required to keep it).
Opt-Out: Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime - there's a link at the bottom of every message.
Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a machine-readable format to take elsewhere.
Object to Processing: You can object to how we're using your data in certain situations.

To exercise any of these rights, shoot us an email at reservations@quantalethnexus.info or call us at +1 (604) 555-7823.

We don't keep your data forever. Here's our retention game plan:

Booking Records: Kept for 7 years for accounting and tax purposes (Canadian law requires this).
Marketing Data: Until you unsubscribe or request deletion, then it's gone within 30 days.
Smart Room Preferences: Stored until you check out and clear your profile, or after 2 years of inactivity.
Security Footage: Deleted after 90 days unless needed for investigations.
Website Analytics: Aggregated and anonymized data kept indefinitely for business insights.

Once the retention period's up, we securely delete or anonymize your data so it can't be traced back to you.

We're based in Canada, but some of our service providers might be located elsewhere. Here's the deal:

Your data might be processed in countries outside Canada, including the United States. When this happens, we make sure these providers meet adequate privacy standards through:

Standard contractual clauses approved by privacy regulators
Adequacy decisions recognizing similar privacy protections
Privacy Shield frameworks where applicable

Bottom line: your data gets the same protection no matter where it's processed.

Our services aren't directed at kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you're booking for a family with minors, that's totally fine - but the booking should be made by an adult.

If we somehow end up with data from a child under 13 without parental consent, let us know immediately and we'll delete it ASAP.

Privacy laws and our practices evolve, so we might update this policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we'll:

Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page
Send you an email notification if you're on our mailing list
Post a notice on our homepage for at least 30 days

We recommend checking back here occasionally to stay in the loop. Continuing to use our services after changes means you're cool with the updated policy.
