Privacy Policy

We're pretty serious about keeping your info safe and sound

Last Updated: January 2024

Look, we get it - nobody really loves reading privacy policies. But we've tried to make this one as straightforward as possible because your trust means everything to us here at Stellar Quinthas.

Who We Are

Stellar Quinthas Hotel is a luxury boutique property nestled in the beautiful mountains of Whistler, BC. We're at 1285 Mountain View Drive, and you can reach us anytime at (604) 555-0127 or reservations@stellarquinthas.info.

When you book a room, dine with us, or use any of our services, you're entrusting us with certain personal details - and we don't take that lightly.

What Info We Collect

  • Your name and contact details (email, phone)
  • Billing and payment information
  • Reservation preferences and special requests
  • Dietary requirements or accessibility needs
  • Feedback and communication history
  • Website usage data and cookies

Why We Need It

  • To process your reservations and payments
  • To make your stay more comfortable
  • To send booking confirmations and updates
  • To handle special requests properly
  • To improve our services based on feedback
  • To keep you in the loop about offers (if you want)

How We Use Your Information

Here's the deal - we're not in the business of selling your data or spamming you with stuff you don't want. Your information helps us do our job better, plain and simple.

For Your Reservations: We'll use your contact info to confirm bookings, send check-in details, and reach out if there's anything you need to know about your upcoming stay.

For Better Service: If you've told us you prefer a quiet room away from the elevator or that you're celebrating an anniversary, we'll remember that to make your experience special.

For Communication: We might send you updates about your reservation or occasionally share news about the hotel - but only if you've said you're cool with that.

For Legal Stuff: Sometimes we're required by Canadian law to keep certain records for tax and regulatory purposes.

Cookies & Website Tracking

Like pretty much every website these days, we use cookies. They're not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately - they're small bits of data that help our site work better and remember your preferences.

You can adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but heads up - some parts of our website might not work as smoothly if you do.

Who We Share Your Info With

We're pretty protective of your data, but there are a few situations where we might need to share it:

Service Providers

Payment processors, booking systems, and email services that help us run things smoothly. They're only allowed to use your info for what we've hired them to do.

Legal Requirements

If we're legally obligated to share information with government authorities or law enforcement, we'll comply with Canadian privacy laws.

Business Partners

Tour operators or activity providers if you've booked services through our concierge - but only the details they need to fulfill your booking.

Never Sold

We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. Period.

Keeping Your Data Safe

We take security seriously around here. Your payment information is encrypted, our systems are regularly updated, and we limit who on our team can access sensitive guest data.

That said, no online system is 100% bulletproof. We do our absolute best to protect your info, but it's worth being cautious about what you share online anywhere.

Your Rights (The Important Stuff)

Under Canadian privacy law, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal data:

  • Access: You can ask to see what information we have about you
  • Correction: If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it
  • Deletion: You can request we delete your data (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
  • Portability: Ask for a copy of your data in a format you can use elsewhere

To exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at reservations@stellarquinthas.info or give us a call.

How Long We Keep Your Info

We don't hang onto your data forever. Here's generally how long we keep things:

  • Reservation records: Up to 7 years for tax and legal compliance
  • Marketing preferences: Until you unsubscribe or we haven't heard from you in 3 years
  • Website analytics: Typically 26 months or less
  • Guest preferences: As long as you're an active guest, so we can keep serving you better

Kids' Privacy

Our website and services aren't designed for children under 13. We don't knowingly collect information from kids. If you're a parent and think we might have info about your child, please contact us right away so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We might update this privacy policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. When we do, we'll update the date at the top and post the new version here.

If there are major changes, we'll try to let you know directly - probably via email if we have your contact info on file.

Questions? We're Here to Help

If anything in this policy is unclear or you've got concerns about how we handle your information, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd rather answer your questions than have you worry.
