Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 27, 2025

We take your privacy seriously - here's the straight talk on how we handle your info

Introduction

Look, we get it - nobody really enjoys reading privacy policies. But here at Ignivarion Legacy Hotel, we're committed to being upfront about how we handle your personal information. We've been around long enough to know that trust is earned, not given.

This policy covers everything from when you book a room on our website to when you're sipping wine at our complimentary tastings. We're based in Vancouver, BC, and we follow Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA, to be specific), which means we've got some pretty solid standards to live up to.

Think of this document as our promise to you - we're not gonna sell your email to random companies or spam you with stuff you don't care about. We only use your info to make your stay better and keep our historic hotel running smoothly.

What Information We Collect

Personal Details

When you book with us, we need the basics - your name, email, phone number, and billing address. Pretty standard stuff. If you're using our Heritage Spa or booking our Conference Facilities, we might ask for a few more details to make sure everything's tailored to your needs.

Payment Information

We collect payment card details, but here's the thing - we don't actually store your full card numbers on our servers. That info goes straight to our secure payment processor. We just keep the last four digits and expiration date for your records.

Stay Preferences

If you've got specific room preferences (like extra pillows or a higher floor), we'll keep that on file. Same goes for dietary restrictions at our Fine Dining Restaurant. Makes future stays way easier.

Technical Data

Our website collects some technical stuff automatically - IP address, browser type, device info, and how you navigate through our site. This helps us fix bugs and make the booking experience smoother.

How We Use Your Information

Reservations & Service

Processing your bookings, confirming rooms, and making sure your suite's ready when you arrive.

Communication

Sending booking confirmations, pre-arrival emails, and occasionally letting you know about special offers (if you've opted in).

Personalization

Remembering your preferences so we don't have to ask you the same questions every time you visit.

Legal Compliance

Meeting tax requirements, handling disputes, and keeping records as required by Canadian law.

We won't use your info for anything that'd make you uncomfortable. If we ever want to do something new with your data, we'll ask permission first.

Cookie Policy

Yeah, we use cookies - but not the delicious kind from our kitchen (though those are pretty great too). These are small files that help our website remember you and work properly.

Cookie Type Purpose Duration
Essential Keep you logged in, remember what's in your booking cart, basic site functionality Session / 1 year
Functional Remember your language preference, room view choices, accessibility settings 1 year
Analytics Help us understand which pages are popular, where people get stuck in booking 2 years
Marketing Track ad performance, show you relevant offers (only if you consent) 1 year

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Just know that blocking essential cookies might make some parts of our site not work right - like actually completing a reservation.

Who We Share Data With

We're not in the business of selling your info. But we do work with a few trusted partners to keep things running:

  • Payment Processors

    They handle your credit card info securely. We use industry-standard PCI-compliant services.

  • Email Service Providers

    They send out your booking confirmations and (if you've subscribed) occasional newsletters about events or special packages.

  • Analytics Partners

    We use tools like Google Analytics to understand how people use our website - all anonymized, of course.

  • Service Vendors

    Companies that help us with specific services like our Concierge program or Spa bookings might need some of your info to do their job.

  • Legal Authorities

    If the law requires it (like a court order or government request), we'll have to share relevant information.

How We Protect Your Data

Security's a big deal for us. We've been safeguarding guest information since way before the internet was a thing, and we've kept up with the times.

Encryption

All data transmitted to our website uses SSL/TLS encryption - that's the little padlock you see in your browser.

Access Control

Only authorized staff members can access guest information, and they're trained on privacy best practices.

Secure Servers

Our servers are housed in secure facilities with 24/7 monitoring, firewalls, and regular security audits.

Regular Backups

We backup your data regularly so nothing gets lost if something goes wrong.

That said, no system's 100% bulletproof. If we ever experience a data breach that affects you, we'll let you know right away and tell you what steps to take.

Your Privacy Rights

Under Canadian law (and just basic decency), you've got some important rights when it comes to your personal information:

You can ask us what info we have about you. We'll give you a copy within 30 days, though we might charge a small fee if it's a complicated request.

If we've got something wrong - like an old phone number or misspelled name - just let us know and we'll fix it ASAP.
