What Information Do We Collect?

There are times when we may ask you for or you may choose to provide information about yourself and your business to assist us in meeting your various needs ("Personal Information"). For example, we may ask you for information about your personal preferences, which helps us develop a Guest Preference Profile that enables us to serve you better. We may also collect other Personal Information such as information collected when you make a reservation for, or register or use the facilities of, or stay at one of our resorts. We may also collect Personal Information from entries made to sweepstakes or contests and from visitors to our Website located at www.capebretonresorts.com. The information we collect at our Website is described on the Website. When we request Personal Information you will be given the choice to opt out of providing such information. Please contact us at 1 800 565-5660, or write: Cape Breton Resorts, P.O. Box 190 Shore Road, Baddeck Nova Scotia B0E 1B0 or advise the Front Desk at any one of our resorts if you do not wish to share this type of information.

How We Use Your Personal Information?

Your Personal Information may be used for the purpose of providing you with services at our resorts, servicing your requests, improving our services, developing and informing you of additional services provided by Cape Breton Resorts, or by any direct or indirect affiliate or our business partners that may be of interest, or answering questions you may have. For example, such information may be used to inform you about programs related to car rentals, tour bookings, consumer products or other offerings.

We may also send out newsletter with personal interest questions on it for you to fill out in order to serve you better and to provide with the details of our product that is most important to you. Some of these statistics that we gather about our customers will be shared with third parties in order to provide you products and services you expressed an interest in. However, when we do, these statistics will not include Personal Information that identifies individuals. All reasonable measures have also been taken so that the information you provide to us will not be used by our affiliates or third parties for purposes other than those indicated in this Privacy Policy.

We may also use, disclose and communicate your Personal Information if required to do so by law, including by an order of any court.

By providing any Personal Information to Cape Breton Resorts, you grant to Cape Breton Resorts and its affiliates an unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt and develop derivative work based upon, or derived from, such information in any form, with the right to grant sub-licenses provided; however, no use may be made of Personal Information in contravention of the terms of this Privacy Policy.

As the Internet is not yet a fully secure medium and therefore complete confidentiality and privacy cannot be ensured, Cape Breton Resorts will not be liable for any damages resulting from the transmission of confidential or Personal Information to us.

Technology

Cape Breton Resorts uses cookies to enable enhanced personalization. "Cookies" are strings of text that a website transmits to a user's computer. The cookie(s) passed to you are anonymous. They do not reveal your personal identity, they will not follow you throughout your travels on the web, nor can they capture private data. Rather, cookies are used to establish a user session and to allow our server to correctly provide users with the appropriate content. Please understand that any data captured from this system is for internal use only and is not shared with anyone else unless explicitly stated at the time of capture. If you do not wish to receive these cookies, you may set your browser to reject the cookies (consult the instructions for your particular browser on how to do this), although doing so will affect your ability to perform certain transactions on this Website, including online booking.

Securing the Transmission and Storage of Information

If and when we ask you for credit card data when making a reservation or purchasing any item or service including and not limited to gift certificates, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This ensures that your information is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer. You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock or key icon in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https." After information reaches us it is stored on a secure server that resides behind firewalls designed to block unauthorized access. Acceptance of Our System's Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions
