These services are used solely to support the travel planning process and improve your client experience.

International Transfers of Information

Travel planning is inherently international.

If you ask us to arrange travel outside Canada, your information may need to be shared with hotels, airlines, tour operators, cruise lines, transportation providers, insurance companies, or other travel suppliers located in other countries.

Privacy laws in those countries may differ from Canadian privacy legislation.

By requesting international travel planning services, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred internationally when necessary to arrange your travel.

We share only the information reasonably required to complete your requested travel arrangements.

How We Protect Your Information

Protecting your information is important to us.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to safeguard personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or misuse.

These measures may include:

  • Secure website hosting
  • Password-protected business systems
  • Limited access to client information
  • Secure communication tools
  • Software updates and security maintenance
  • Trusted third-party providers

While we take reasonable precautions, no website, email system, or electronic storage method can guarantee absolute security.

For this reason, we encourage you to avoid sending highly sensitive information through unsecured email whenever possible.

How Long We Keep Information

We retain personal information only for as long as it is reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide our services
  • Maintain business records
  • Meet legal and accounting obligations
  • Resolve disputes
  • Enforce agreements

When personal information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it.

Some information may be retained longer where required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Your Privacy Choices

Depending on applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information
  • Request corrections to inaccurate information
  • Withdraw consent where appropriate

Children's Privacy

Reground Travel's website and services are intended for adults planning travel.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under the age of 13.

If we become aware that personal information has been submitted directly by a child without appropriate consent, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

When arranging travel involving minors, personal information may be collected from a parent or legal guardian as necessary to provide travel services.

End of Part 2

At this point, the policy is already covering the operational aspects of your business.

Part 3 will complete the document with:

  • PIPEDA and Canadian privacy rights
  • Links to third-party privacy policies (referenced rather than reproduced)
  • Changes to this Privacy Policy
  • Contact information
  • A polished concluding statement

That final section will tie everything together into a publication-ready Privacy Policy suitable for Reground Travel.

Excellent. This completes the Privacy Policy and brings it to a professional finish.
