Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how Banff Travel Guide (“we”, “us”, “the desk”) handles personal information when you visit banffgondola.online. We publish an independent editorial travel website. We do not sell tickets, take payments, or create customer accounts. The notice is written to sit comfortably under Canada’s PIPEDA and, for readers in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, the GDPR.
1. Who we are
Controller: Banff Travel Guide, published at https://banffgondola.online. Privacy and editorial contact: [email protected]. We are not affiliated with Pursuit, Banff Jasper Collection, or any mountain attraction named in these pages.
2. Information we collect
- Server logs. IP address, user agent, referring URL, requested path, and time may be stored by the host for security and reliability.
- Contact form and email. Name, email address, and the message you submit. Used solely to answer you. We do not add you to a list.
- Cookies. A strictly necessary cookie may be set to deliver or protect a page. We do not place advertising cookies on these editorial pages.
- Analytics. No third-party analytics product is active on this domain at the date above. If that changes, this policy will be updated first.
We do not collect payment-card data. We do not sell tickets on this site.
3. Use, sharing, and processors
We use personal information to run and secure the website, to reply to editorial mail, to handle abuse, and to comply with law. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it with third parties for their own marketing. Hosting, DNS, and mail delivery may involve processors who see technical data only as required to keep banffgondola.online available.
4. Legal bases
Under PIPEDA we use information for the reasonable purposes of publishing a website and answering correspondence. Under the GDPR those purposes rest on legitimate interests for logs, on your request when you send the contact form, and on legal obligation where a lawful demand exists.
5. Cookies
You can refuse non-essential cookies in your browser. These pages do not require a marketing cookie to be read. Typefaces may load from Google Fonts; that technical request is covered by Google’s policy, not by a sale of data from this desk.
6. Retention
Security logs are kept only as long as needed, typically under thirty days unless an investigation is open. Contact messages are kept up to twelve months, or for the life of an active conversation, then deleted or archived in ordinary course.
7. Your rights
You may request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of personal information we hold, and you may object to processing based on legitimate interests. Write to [email protected] with the subject “Privacy request”. We may need to verify the request. You may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada or to your EEA or UK supervisory authority.
8. Children and transfers
The site is written for adults planning mountain travel. We do not knowingly collect children’s data through the form. Hosting may be outside your province or country; visiting the site may involve processing in that location under the host’s safeguards.
9. Changes
We may revise this policy. The date at the top will change when we do. Questions: [email protected].
