In keeping with Port Coquitlams motto of "Where Service Comes
First" we are committed to protecting your privacy by ensuring the confidentiality of
the personal information you provide us with.
In order to comply with the Canadian Personal Information Protection
and Electronic Documents Act we have developed a privacy policy. We use vigorous security
safeguards and adhere to Ten Privacy Principles to ensure your personal and financial
information is protected.
How we collect and use your personal information:
When you book travel arrangements with us, join our mailing list or
enter one of our contests you may be asked for the following basic information: Full legal
name, address, email address, phone number, gender, and credit card information. We will
use your personal information to identify you, contact you, process your purchases and
protect you and us from error or fraud. We only collect information that is required for
use in the business activities of Port Coquitlam Travel.
As we are a Full Service agency there are times when in order to
recommend specific products and services to meet your needs we need to collect more
information than is normally required for a standard booking. This additional information
could include your date of birth, frequent flyer numbers, seat preference, health
information or special diet requirements, ages of your children, your citizenship status,
drivers license number, passport and/or birth certificate information.
Steps we have taken to ensure your personal information
is handled appropriately:
* Should Port Coquitlam Travel wish to use your information for a
purpose not contemplated at the time of initial collection we may use your contact info to
ask for your consent to use your personal information for the new purpose.
* Your information is obtained or used only with your consent. This
express can be verbal or written.
* You have the right to see, verify or update any of your personal
information we have on file. Please contact our office to access this information.
* Our office staff are familiar with and practice all aspects of our
privacy policy.
* You can be assured that your personal information is held
confidentially and securely in our office.
* We keep your personal information on file for certain lengths of
time to meet any legal requirements. However, when your information is no longer needed we
properly destroy all documentation.
* For marketing purposes we provide you with a choice of which
promotional marketing communications you wish to receive from us.
* When you book with Port Coquitlam Travel we act as a booking agent
and may share information with other companies involved in making your travel reservations
