With respect to this website, the Personal Information is protected in accordance with this website Privacy Policy set forth below.

1. What Information is Collected

Personal Information and other information may be collected. Personal Information shall include the information listed above and any other information set forth in any legislation that is applicable to you. For instance, for legal residents of the European Union, “personal information” shall be read throughout this Privacy Policy as “personal data” as defined under the General Data Protection Regulation. In any case, we treat any information that makes it possible to identify you as an individual as personal information. For example, we consider your given name, surname, date of birth, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, mobile number, as well as any information that is considered personal information under applicable laws to be personal information.

We collect and process the following categories of personal information:

Contact information, such as your given name, surname, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address;
Economic information, such as financial information that may be provided in connection with our services;
Login information, such as the ID and password you use to connect to your account on our website;
Interests and preferences information;
Any other information that you provide directly and voluntarily, including any message you send to us by e-mail and/or by contacting our customer service.

We, as well as service and content providers, may use a variety of cookies and similar tracking technologies (“Cookies”) that automatically collect certain website usage information whenever you visit or interact with us (“Usage Information”). Usage Information may include without limitation your information about your browser, operating system, all of the areas within our sites and e-mails that you visit, including content that you browse, and the time of day, among other information. Usage Information may also include your IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for the particular device you use to access the website. A Device Identifier is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer, mobile phone, or other device used to access the website and our servers identify your device by its Device Identifier. Subject to applicable laws, some mobile service providers may also provide us or our third-party service providers with information regarding the physical location of the device used to access our website.

Some Usage Information may be considered as Personal Information under certain laws, such as an IP address under the laws applicable in the European Union. To the extent that we combine Usage Information with your Personal Information, we will treat the combined information as Personal Information under this Privacy Policy.

Cookies can be used by us and by third parties for analytics or other similar purposes. Please contact us to learn more about the type of technology used, the type of information collected, why it is collected, how it is used and how you can manage your preferences regarding the use of such technologies.

If you submit information on behalf of another individual (for example a friend, a family member, a member of a tour group you are organizing), you must ensure that you have his/her consent to share his/her personal information with us and you confirm that you have this consent.

2. Purpose of Use of Personal Information

We use this information to give our website visitors a more relevant online experience and to help us make website improvements. The information helps us understand which parts of our websites are the most popular, where our online visitors are going, and how long they spend there. If you do not want us to collect information using cookies, you can disable this function in your browser. If you block cookies from us, however, you may not be able to see personalized content and our website may not function optimally.

We will not sell, trade, or share your Personal Information with any other entity, except as described herein. We do not send mailings to our contacts on behalf of other organizations unless the contact has given us specific permission to do so.

6. Management of Personal Information

We take appropriate measures to prevent leakage or outflow of Personal Information.

We use a variety of security measures to protect your data. We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access to and improper use of personally identifiable information such as encryption, access controls, network firewalls, and physical security. When we work with other companies to process information, those companies also use encryption and other appropriate security measures.

While your Personal Information will be collected and stored on servers in Canada or in the United States of America, it may be shared with, stored and/or otherwise processed by group affiliates and/or by third parties who are located in other countries. For example, some of the service providers that process or handle Personal Information on our behalf are located outside of these countries. Regardless of where the processing of your personal information takes place, we will take steps to protect your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, data protection laws, and where required by applicable laws, recognized data transfer mechanisms (such as EU-US Privacy Shield Certification of third party service providers that we use or standard data protection clauses recognized by the European Commission). While we use reasonable means to safeguard your personal information, it is subject to the legal requirements and governmental authorities of the foreign jurisdictions in which it is located. For example, we may be legally required to disclose personal information to a governmental authority of a foreign jurisdiction in which your personal information is located.

We have adopted reasonable security procedures to help protect against loss or theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification to the Personal Information you provide to us. While we strive to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee or warrant the security of any Personal Information you disclose or transmit on the website and cannot be responsible for the loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification of your Personal Information, unless otherwise provided by law.

We will retain your Personal Information only as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy or for a longer period if required or permitted under applicable laws. We may retain your Personal Information for an additional period in archive databases, including for the duration of applicable statutes of limitation in order to be able to exercise our rights and/or defend ourselves in case of legal claims. Please note that if you merely unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may nonetheless continue to use your Personal Information for marketing and business analytics purposes, unless you withdraw your consent to this activity or object to it by contacting us at one of the locations below.

Legislation in California provides that California residents are entitled to know how we respond to “Do Not Track” browser settings. If activated by you, these settings send a special signal to the websites you encounter indicating that you do not wish to be tracked. We do not respond to Do Not Track signals at this time. If we do so in the future, we will describe how so in an updated version of this Privacy Policy. Legislation in California also permits customers who are California residents to request certain information about the sharing of their personal information with third parties or, in some cases, affiliates for those third parties’ or affiliates’ own direct marketing purposes. For all such inquiries, please contact us at the locations provided below.
