Our Commitment to Your Privacy


Travelier knows that protecting the privacy and confidentiality of your personal information is important. Collection, use and disclosure of personal information by Travelier is governed by the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (the "Act") and any applicable provincial legislation. This Privacy Code explains what personal information is collected and how it is used. It also explains how you can ask questions, make suggestions and complain about our privacy practices. Be aware that Travelier may contain links to other websites provided and maintained exclusively by third parties not subject to this Privacy Code. Please review the privacy policies on any external websites to determine their information-handling practices. Travelier will not be liable under any circumstances for any damages, direct or indirect, resulting from any use of Travelier or any other third-party website linked to Travelier, whether or not we are advised of the possibility of such damages.

If you have any questions, we encourage you to contact us and we will address your concerns to the best of our ability. Please read this Privacy Code carefully, and check back periodically, as we update it from time to time. By submitting your personal information, you signify your agreement to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Code.

What Is Personal Information?

Personal information is any information about an identifiable individual. Personal information does not include the name, title, business address or telephone number of an employee of an organization. Information used solely for journalistic purposes is exempted from the Act. Travelier is responsible for personal information under its control. Our employees are informed about the importance of privacy and receive periodic information to update them about our Privacy Code and related policies.

Children

If you are under age 18, be sure to obtain your parent or guardian's permission before you send personal information to us, or anyone else, over the internet. We encourage parents to get involved with their children's online usage and to be aware of the activities in which they are participating.

What Personal Information Do We Collect, and Why?

Travelier collects personal information for specific, limited purposes. Information is collected by fair and lawful means.

We collect personal contact information (for example, name, address, email address and telephone numbers) if you: sign up for a newsletter; register on an online forum or website, or to attend a paid event; purchase any product from Travelier; are an advertiser or auction participant; or provide it to us when you attend a trade or consumer show. This information is used to fulfill your request and respond to your inquiries.

If you enter a contest or other promotion, we use your personal contact information to administer the contest or promotion, including contacting, announcing and promoting prizewinners.

If you subscribe to Travelier, we may collect your demographic and contact information for the purpose of providing you with samples and promotional material that is specific to your stated needs.

We collect purchase history and a list of promotions offered to you ("history"), in order to gain a better understanding of your interests, so that we may develop better products and services, and to determine eligibility for our products and services.

If you are a Travelier customer, we collect and use the "last known" location on your mobile device to establish a location context when you launch Travelier, but we do not permanently store this information.

We may also use personal contact and history information from time to time to contact you about changes, enhancements or other notices related to goods or services you requested or samples of which you have asked us to send you and which Travelier provides. In addition, we may use this information to send you offers or information from us, our affiliates and selected sponsors or advertisers ("Marketing Offers"). If you do not wish to receive Marketing Offers, you may opt out at any time by following the procedure set out in our opt-out policy (see below).

We keep notes and special instructions on file for advertisers and subscribers to help us fulfill your request and provide customer service.

We may collect credit card information if you are an advertiser. This credit card information is used for the purpose of fulfilling your order.

If you choose to opt out of any use of your personal information in accordance with our opt-out policy, we keep your contact information on a list so that your request can be honoured. If you complain to any of our departments, we collect your contact information and the nature of your complaint for the purpose of investigating and responding to you.

If you are a freelancer or other service provider, we collect your social insurance number for tax reporting purposes and your contact information in order to pay you. We may also collect financial information (for example, banking details and credit history) from our freelancers, other service providers or advertisers to assess credit risk; sales data to prepare royalty reports; and other information to help us evaluate services.

Purposes for the collection, use or disclosure of personal information, which are not set out in this Privacy Code, will be set out at the time of collection. You will be given a reasonable opportunity to opt out of any additional purposes no later than the time of collection.

We also collect certain non-personal information, such as internet cookies and data for market research:

Internet cookies: An internet cookie is a small piece of information that a website stores on your internet browser. We use cookies to better understand how you use our website, to make sure our ads and dynamic content are served correctly, and to improve the performance of our website.

These activities are invisible to you and are generally intended to improve your internet surfing convenience. Unless you have set your preferences so that you will be alerted when a cookie is being stored on your computer, you won't know about it.

If you are concerned about cookies, it is possible to turn them off in your web browser preferences. However, please be aware that by disabling cookies, you may not be able to use all portions of our website, particularly pages requiring registration.

We may place advertising or other links on our site that originate from outside advertisers. If you view these ads, the advertisers may assign a cookie. Travelier does not control these cookies, nor is it responsible for any marketing or other use of your name by these advertisers.

Market research: Occasionally, we ask our customers to complete market research surveys. Survey results are aggregated and shared with our advertisers, sponsors and affiliates in a manner that does not disclose personal information.
