At Maritimes Inns & Resorts, we respect your privacy. That is why we have developed The Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Code which specifies Maritime Inns & Resort's guidelines for the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information.
The Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Code was developed to comply with the relevant portions of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (Canada). We have drafted The Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Code to facilitate our compliance with this legislation and to demonstrate our commitment to protecting your personal information. It can be found here.
We have also developed The Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Protection Pledge. We want you to understand the purposes for which we collect personal information. We also want to make certain that we have your consent to continue to collect, use and disclose your personal information for those purposes.
If you are a Maritime Inns & Resorts customer, Maritime Inns & Resorts may have collected some basic information about you. We respect your privacy, which is why we collect personal information only for the following purposes:
- To enable us to make a reservation for you to stay in one of our rooms or for use of our facilities
- For billing/invoicing purposes.
- To obtain comment cards completed on a volunteer basis by the customer for suggestions to better serve the customer.
Customers may register for our Value Plus Club which rewards frequent purchasing. The personal information is only used if the customer signs the registration form. The customer can also voluntarily consent to receiving information on Special Offers from Maritime Inns & Resorts.
There are a variety of circumstances where we may disclose some personal information about our customers. Here are some examples:
- Where we are required or obligated by law to do so
- Where the customer consents
- Where services we are providing require disclosure of information to a third party so long as the third party has agreed to comply with our policy
- Where it is necessary to establish or collect fees
In order to protect your personal information, Maritime Inns & Resorts:
- will not collect, use or disclose your personal information for any purpose other than those identified above, except with your further consent;
- will protect your personal information with appropriate security safeguards;
- will protect the confidentiality of your personal information when dealing with other organizations;
- will strive to keep your personal information as accurate and up to date as is necessary for the purposes identified above; and
- will honour any request you may make for access to your personal information.
We would like to have your consent to continue to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes identified above. However, you do have choices and can refuse or withdraw your consent as follows:
- You may refuse to provide your personal information to us.
- You may also withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
However, in either case, this may limit our ability to serve you.
If you have any questions or concerns about our personal information management system, please contact the Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Officer at 902-752-5644 or via email at maritimeinns.com. Otherwise, we will assume that we have your consent to collect, use and disclose your personal information for the purposes identified above and in a manner consistent with The Maritime Inns & Resorts Privacy Code.
