A Real Talk About Privacy

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But here's the thing: your trust means everything to us at Kythariel Quintal. So we've tried to lay this out in plain English, no legal mumbo-jumbo.

When you stay with us, book a spa treatment, or even just browse our site, you're sharing bits of info with us. We don't take that lightly. This policy spells out what we collect, why we need it, and how we keep it locked down tight.

We follow Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) because it's the law, but also because it's the right thing to do.

PIPEDA Compliant

Fully compliant with Canadian federal privacy legislation

Alright, let's break this down into what we actually gather when you interact with us:

Personal Stuff
  • Your name and contact details (email, phone)
  • Billing address and payment info
  • Date of birth (for age verification and special occasions)
  • Passport or ID numbers (only when legally required)
  • Dietary restrictions and accessibility needs
Booking & Stay Info
  • Reservation dates and room preferences
  • Spa appointments and wellness program participation
  • Dining reservations and special requests
  • Event attendance and conference bookings
Technical Data
  • IP address and browser type
  • Pages you visit and how long you hang out on 'em
  • Device info and screen resolution
  • Cookies and similar tracking tech

We're not collecting data just for kicks. Here's what we actually do with it:

Making Your Stay Amazing

Processing bookings, confirming reservations, arranging room preferences, and basically making sure everything runs smooth when you're here.

Handling Payments

Processing transactions securely, sending you receipts, and managing any refunds if needed. All encrypted and secure, promise.

Keeping in Touch

Sending booking confirmations, updates about your reservation, and responding to your questions. We'll also send occasional promotions, but only if you've said that's cool.

Personalizing Your Experience

Remembering your preferences, suggesting services you might dig, and tailoring your wellness programs to your goals.

Legal Stuff

Meeting Canadian laws and regulations, preventing fraud, and keeping everyone safe.

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our site work better and remember stuff about your visit.

Types of Cookies We Use:
Essential Cookies

These keep the site running. Can't really turn 'em off without breaking things.

Performance Cookies

Help us understand how folks use the site so we can make it better.

Functionality Cookies

Remember your preferences and settings between visits.

Marketing Cookies

Track your browsing to show you relevant offers. Totally optional.

You're in Control: Use our Cookie Settings button above to pick and choose what cookies you're cool with.

We don't sell your data. Period. But we do share it with some trusted partners who help us run things:

  • Payment Processors
    They handle transactions securely. We never see your full credit card details.
  • Cloud Service Providers
    Where we safely store data. They're all bound by strict security agreements.
  • Email Services
    Help us send you booking confirmations and newsletters (if you've opted in).
  • Analytics Tools
    Give us insights on site usage. Data's anonymized whenever possible.
  • Legal Authorities
    Only when required by law or to protect our rights and safety.
Important: All third parties we work with must meet strict privacy and security standards. They can only use your data for the specific purposes we've outlined.

Canadian privacy law gives you some pretty solid rights when it comes to your personal info. Here's what you can do:
