Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us, plain and simple

Last Updated: November 7, 2025

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading privacy policies. But here at Eldryth Valorium, we've tried to make this one as straightforward as possible. We're a luxury heritage hotel that values old-school principles like trust and respect, so we're not gonna play games with your personal info. This policy explains what we collect, why we need it, and what we do with it. No fancy legal jargon that makes your head spin.

When you book a room or use our services, we'll need some basic info to make your stay happen. Here's what we typically gather:

  • Personal Details: Name, email, phone number - the usual stuff you'd expect when making a reservation
  • Payment Info: Credit card details, billing address (we use secure payment processors, don't worry)
  • Stay Preferences: Room type, dietary requirements, special requests - basically anything that helps us make your visit better
  • Communication History: Emails, calls, chat logs with our team so we can keep track of your needs
  • Device & Usage Data: IP address, browser type, pages you visit on our site - standard website analytics

If you're just browsing our website without booking, we collect way less - mostly anonymous stuff like which pages people look at and how long they stick around.

We're not collecting data just for kicks - everything we gather serves a real purpose:

  • Processing Reservations: Can't book you a room without knowing who you are and how to reach you
  • Service Delivery: Making sure you get the spa appointment you wanted or the gluten-free breakfast you requested
  • Communication: Sending confirmation emails, answering questions, giving you updates about your stay
  • Improvement: Understanding what guests like and don't like so we can do better
  • Marketing: Sharing special offers and news (but only if you've said it's cool with you)
  • Legal Stuff: Meeting requirements for tax, accounting, and other regulations we gotta follow

We won't sell your info to random companies or use it for anything sketchy. That's just not how we roll.

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are tiny files that help our website remember you and work properly.

Types of cookies we use:
  • Essential Cookies: Keep the site functioning - can't turn these off without breaking things
  • Performance Cookies: Help us see how people use the site so we can make it better
  • Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences like language settings
  • Marketing Cookies: Track whether our ads are working (you can opt out of these)

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just know that blocking certain ones might make parts of our site act weird.

We're pretty protective of your info, but there are some situations where we need to share it:

  • Service Providers: Companies that help us run the hotel - like payment processors, email services, and booking platforms. They're under strict contracts to keep your data safe
  • Business Partners: Tour operators, transportation services, or restaurants if you've booked something through our concierge
  • Legal Requirements: If the law says we have to, like for court orders or government investigations
  • Business Transfers: If we ever sell the hotel or merge with another company (not planning on it, but gotta mention it)

We don't do mass data dumps to marketing companies or sell lists to spammers. That's a hard line for us.

International Transfers: Since we're in Canada, your data stays within Canadian jurisdiction. If we ever need to transfer it internationally (like for a booking platform), we make sure there are proper safeguards in place.

It's your data, so you've got rights. Here's what you can do:

Access

Ask to see what personal info we have about you

Correction

Update or fix info that's wrong or outdated

Deletion

Request we delete your data (with some exceptions for legal stuff)

Opt-Out

Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime

Portability

Get a copy of your data in a usable format

Restrict

Limit how we process your information

To exercise any of these rights, just shoot us an email at reservations@eldrythvalorium.info or call (416) 555-0147. We'll get back to you within 30 days, usually way sooner.

Security's a big deal to us. We've put some solid measures in place to protect your info:

  • SSL encryption on our website - that little padlock in your browser
  • Secure servers with regular backups
  • Limited access - only staff who need your info to do their jobs can see it
  • Regular security audits and updates
  • Staff training on data protection best practices
  • Secure payment processing through certified providers

Now, let's be real - no system is 100% hack-proof. We do our absolute best, but if there's ever a breach, we'll let you know right away and tell you what steps to take.

Data Retention: We keep your personal info only as long as necessary. Booking records stick around for about 7 years (tax laws, gotta comply), but marketing lists get cleaned out regularly if you're not engaging.

Our services aren't directed at kids under 16, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If a parent or guardian realizes their child's given us info without permission, get in touch and we'll delete it right away.

When families book with us, we only collect necessary details about children (like age for appropriate room setup), and that info is tied to the adult's reservation.

Our website might link to other sites - restaurants we recommend, tour operators, local attractions, that sort of thing. Once you click away from our site, this privacy policy doesn't apply anymore.

We try to only link to reputable places, but we can't control their privacy practices. Always check their policies before sharing personal info elsewhere.

Privacy laws change, our services evolve, so this policy might need updates from time to time. When we make significant changes, we'll post a notice on our website and update the "Last Updated" date at the top.

If the changes are major, we might send an email to let you know. It's worth checking back here occasionally to stay in the loop.

If you've got questions about this privacy policy or how we handle your data, we're here to help. Seriously, don't hesitate to reach out.
