Look, we get it - privacy policies aren't exactly page-turners. But here at Crimson Veil Realm, we think you deserve to know exactly what happens with your info. We've tried to keep this straightforward and honest, without all that legal jargon that makes your eyes glaze over. Bottom line? Your trust matters to us, and we're not gonna mess around with your personal details.
When you book a stay with us or reach out for info, we'll need some basics - your name, email, phone number, that sort of thing. If you're making a reservation, we'll also grab your payment details (but more on security later).
We might collect stuff like your room preferences, dietary restrictions if you're dining with us, or any special requests you've mentioned. This helps us make your experience feel less cookie-cutter and more... well, you.
And yeah, like pretty much every website these days, we use cookies to see how folks navigate our site. It's not creepy surveillance - it just helps us figure out if our website's actually working properly or if people are getting frustrated trying to book a room.
First and foremost - we use your info to actually provide the services you've booked. Can't confirm your reservation without your email, right?
We'll send you booking confirmations, updates about your stay, and occasionally let you know about seasonal events or special offers at the hotel. Don't worry though - we're not gonna spam you with daily emails. That's annoying, and we're not about that life.
Sometimes we'll analyze booking patterns and guest preferences to improve our services. Like, if everyone's requesting late checkout, maybe we should rethink our schedule, y'know?
We're also legally required to keep certain records for accounting and tax purposes. Exciting stuff, but it's gotta be done.
We take security pretty seriously around here. All payment transactions go through encrypted channels - that's the secure SSL stuff you see in your browser. We don't actually store your full credit card details on our servers.
Our team's trained on data protection, and access to guest information is limited to staff who actually need it to do their jobs. Your spa preferences? The front desk doesn't need to see that.
We use industry-standard firewalls, regular security audits, and keep our systems updated. It's not foolproof - nothing ever is - but we're doing everything reasonably possible to keep your stuff locked down.
If there's ever a data breach (knock on wood), we'll let you know right away and tell you exactly what happened. No covering stuff up or hoping nobody notices.
Let's be clear - we're not selling your data to random companies. That's not our business model, and frankly, it's a pretty sleazy thing to do.
We do work with some trusted service providers - payment processors, booking platforms, email services - who help us run the hotel. They only get the info they need to do their specific job, and they're bound by confidentiality agreements.
If you book through a travel agency or partner site, they'll obviously have your booking details too. That's just how that works.
We might share info if legally required - like if there's a court order or law enforcement request. And if the hotel's ever sold (not planning on it, but you never know), your data would transfer to the new owners under the same privacy terms.
Yeah, we use cookies. Not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately.
Some are essential - they remember you're logged in or what's in your booking cart. Without these, the website basically doesn't work.
Others help us understand how visitors use the site. Which pages get ignored? Where do people get stuck? This helps us make improvements.
You can disable cookies in your browser settings if you want, but heads up - some features might not work properly. Most browsers let you pick and choose which types of cookies you're cool with.
We don't use any sneaky tracking pixels or follow you around the internet with ads. When you leave our site, you leave our site. Simple as that.
It's your data, so you've got some say in what happens with it.
Access: You can ask to see what information we have about you. We'll send it over in a readable format.
Correction: If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.
Deletion: Want us to delete your account and data? We can do that, though we might need to keep some stuff for legal or accounting reasons.
Marketing: Don't wanna hear about our special offers? There's an unsubscribe link in every marketing email. No hard feelings.
Under Canadian privacy laws (we're in Vancouver, eh?), you've got additional rights. If you think we've mishandled your data, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
We don't hoard data forever. That'd be weird and unnecessary.
Active booking information sticks around for as long as you're a guest and for a reasonable period after (usually a few years). This helps us assist with any follow-up questions or issues that might come up.
Financial records are kept for seven years - that's a tax law thing, not us being nosy.
Marketing preferences stay in our system until you tell us otherwise. If you unsubscribe, we'll keep a record that you unsubscribed (so we don't accidentally email you again), but that's it.
Our website and services aren't aimed at children under 16. If you're booking a family stay, that's totally fine - but the person making the reservation should be an adult.
If we somehow end up with information from someone under 16 without parental consent, let us know and we'll delete it right away. Kids deserve privacy too.
Sometimes we'll need to update this policy - maybe laws change, or we add new services, or we realize we forgot to mention something important.
When we make significant changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top and let you know via email or a notice on the website. For minor tweaks, we'll just update the date.
We won't make any major changes to how we handle your data without giving you a heads up first. That'd be pretty uncool.
If you've got questions about this privacy policy, or you wanna exercise any of your rights, just reach out to us.

We'll get back to you within a few business days. And hey - if you think we've messed something up, tell us. We'd rather hear from you directly than have you stewing about it.
We collect what we need to give you a great experience, we keep it secure, we don't sell it to random folks, and you can ask us about it anytime. That's really what it comes down to. Thanks for trusting us with your stay at Crimson Veil Realm.
