TravelBanffCanada.com is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children or other minors where parental or guardian consent is required by applicable law.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU
When you access or use the Website, we may collect personal information and other information about you in the following ways:
Information you provide to us directly.
We may collect information that you choose to provide to us, including when you fill out a form, subscribe to our emails, leave a comment, contact us, respond to a survey, use a search feature on the Website, request a resource, or purchase a product or service. Depending on the situation, this information may include your name, email address, billing information, purchase details, message content, comments, and any other information you choose to submit.
Information collected automatically.
When you visit the Website, we and our service providers may automatically collect certain information about your device, browser, and use of the Website through cookies, analytics tools, server logs, pixels, tags, and similar technologies. Depending on how the Website is configured, this may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, pages viewed, referring website, approximate location, date and time of visits, time spent on pages, links clicked, and general traffic and usage patterns.
Some of the information collected automatically may be considered personal information under applicable privacy laws, including where it can be linked to you directly or indirectly.
We collect this information to operate the Website, provide requested products and services, understand how the Website is used, improve content and user experience, maintain security, communicate with users, process transactions, and, where permitted by law and subject to your choices, support analytics, advertising, and marketing activities.
For more information about our use of cookies, analytics, advertising technologies, and related choices available to you, please see the sections below titled Display Ads, Use of Cookies and Pixels, and Third Party Use of Cookies.
DISPLAY ADS
We display advertising on the Website, including interest-based advertising served through Mediavine and its advertising partners.
Depending on your location and the applicable law, we may request your consent before using cookies, pixels, tags, and similar technologies for personalized advertising, profiling, analytics, or related advertising purposes. These technologies may collect or use information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, approximate location, referral source, cookie identifiers, hashed email, and information about how you interact with the Website and advertisements.
This information may be used by us, Mediavine, and Mediavine’s partners to deliver advertisements, measure ad performance, create audience segments, understand user interests, and serve personalized or non-personalized advertising, subject to your choices and applicable law.
You can manage your choices through our cookie or consent tools where available, through your browser settings, and through the industry opt-out tools and partner information described below. Declining advertising cookies does not mean that you will stop seeing advertisements. It means the advertising shown to you may be less personalized.
Mediavine Programmatic Advertising (Ver 1.1)
The Website works with Mediavine to manage third-party interest-based advertising appearing on the Website. Mediavine serves content and advertisements when you visit the Website, which may use first and third-party cookies. A cookie is a small text file which is sent to your computer or mobile device (referred to in this policy as a “device”) by the web server so that a website can remember some information about your browsing activity on the Website.
First party cookies are created by the website that you are visiting. A third-party cookie is frequently used in behavioral advertising and analytics and is created by a domain other than the website you are visiting. Third-party cookies, tags, pixels, beacons and other similar technologies (collectively, “Tags”) may be placed on the Website to monitor interaction with advertising content and to target and optimize advertising. Each internet browser has functionality so that you can block both first and third-party cookies and clear your browser’s cache. The “help” feature of the menu bar on most browsers will tell you how to stop accepting new cookies, how to receive notification of new cookies, how to disable existing cookies and how to clear your browser’s cache. For more information about cookies and how to disable them, you can consult the information at All About Cookies.
Without cookies you may not be able to take full advantage of the Website content and features. Please note that rejecting cookies does not mean that you will no longer see ads when you visit our Site. In the event you opt-out, you will still see non-personalized advertisements on the Website.
The Website collects the following data using a cookie when serving personalized ads:
- IP Address
- Operating System type
- Operating System version
- Device Type
- Language of the website
- Web browser type
- Email (in hashed form)
Mediavine Partners (companies listed below with whom Mediavine shares data) may also use this data to link to other end user information the partner has independently collected to deliver targeted advertisements. Mediavine Partners may also separately collect data about end users from other sources, such as advertising IDs or pixels, and link that data to data collected from Mediavine publishers in order to provide interest-based advertising across your online experience, including devices, browsers and apps. This data includes usage data, cookie information, device information, information about interactions between users and advertisements and websites, geolocation data, traffic data, and information about a visitor’s referral source to a particular website. Mediavine Partners may also create unique IDs to create audience segments, which are used to provide targeted advertising.
If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices to opt-in or opt-out of this data collection, please visit National Advertising Initiative opt out page. You may also visit Digital Advertising Alliance website and Network Advertising Initiative website to learn more information about interest-based advertising. You may download the AppChoices app at Digital Advertising Alliance’s AppChoices app to opt out in connection with mobile apps, or use the platform controls on your mobile device to opt out.
For specific information about Mediavine Partners, the data each collects and their data collection and privacy policies, please visit Mediavine Partners.
USE OF COOKIES AND PIXELS
We use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, server logs, and similar technologies on the Website to help the Website function, understand how visitors use the Website, remember user preferences, measure performance, support security, and, where permitted by law and subject to your choices, support analytics, advertising, and marketing activities.
A cookie is a small text file placed on your device when you visit a website. Pixels and similar technologies are small pieces of code or image files that allow information to be collected about how users interact with a page, email, advertisement, or other digital content. Depending on how these technologies are used, they may collect information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, approximate location, pages viewed, referral source, links clicked, and time spent on the Website. Some of this information may be considered personal information under applicable law.
We may use these technologies for the following categories of purposes:
- Strictly necessary technologies to operate the Website, enable core functionality, maintain security, and provide services you request.
- Preferences technologies to remember choices you make, such as language or other settings.
- Analytics technologies to understand traffic, usage patterns, and Website performance so we can improve the Website and our content.
- Advertising and marketing technologies to measure campaigns, limit repeated ads, support affiliate and advertising relationships, and, where applicable, show personalized or non-personalized advertising.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using non-essential cookies, pixels, or similar technologies. Depending on your location, this may include analytics, advertising, and other technologies used to identify, locate, or profile users or to track activity across sites, services, devices, or over time. Where consent is required, your choice must be separate from general terms and conditions and must be capable of being withdrawn or changed later.
You can manage your cookie choices through our consent or cookie management tools where available. You may also be able to control certain cookies through your browser settings. However, blocking or disabling some cookies may affect how the Website functions. Browser controls may not block all technologies, and for some jurisdictions they are not, on their own, a sufficient consent mechanism for non-essential cookies.
For more information about advertising-related technologies and third-party tracking on the Website, please see the sections titled Display Ads and Third Party Use of Cookies below.
THIRD PARTY USE OF COOKIES
Some content, features, services, and advertisements on the Website may be provided by third parties or may use third-party technologies. These third parties may include advertising partners, analytics providers, affiliate platforms, embedded content providers, social media platforms, payment processors, email service providers, and other service providers that help us operate the Website and our business.
These third parties may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, software development kits, server-to-server connections, web beacons, and similar technologies to collect or receive information about your use of the Website and, depending on the provider and your choices, other websites, apps, devices, or services over time. Depending on the technology used, this information may include your IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, language, approximate location, referral source, pages viewed, links clicked, advertising identifiers, cookie identifiers, and information about your interactions with content, ads, emails, or services.
Third parties may use this information for their own purposes and on our behalf, including to provide services we request, measure traffic and performance, support security, process payments, deliver embedded content, attribute affiliate referrals, limit repeated ads, and provide personalized or non-personalized advertising, subject to applicable law and your choices.
Where required by applicable law, we will seek consent before non-essential third-party cookies or similar technologies are used on the Website. You can manage your choices through our consent or cookie management tools where available, through your browser or device settings, and, in some cases, through the privacy or opt-out tools provided by the relevant third party.
We encourage you to review the privacy and cookie policies of the third parties whose tools, content, or advertisements appear on the Website. While those third parties are responsible for their own privacy practices, we will identify the categories of third parties we work with and, where appropriate, provide links or references to their policies or choice tools in this Privacy Policy or in our cookie or consent tools.
For more information about advertising-related third parties, please see the sections titled Display Ads and Use of Cookies and Pixels above.
EMAIL INFORMATION
If you contact us by email, subscribe to our emails, submit a form, make a purchase, or otherwise choose to communicate with us electronically, we may collect and retain your email address, the contents of your message, our responses, and related records of that communication.
We use this information to respond to your inquiries, provide requested information, deliver products or services, administer purchases, send newsletters or other communications you have consented to receive, maintain our records, and protect the security and integrity of the Website and our business.
We protect email-related personal information using reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information.
EMAIL POLICIES
We are committed to keeping your email address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our email subscriber lists to third parties. We may share email-related personal information with service providers who help us operate our Website, manage communications, process purchases, or support our business, but only for purposes consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before sending you marketing or promotional emails. Requests for consent will be presented clearly and separately where required by law.
Our marketing emails will identify us as the sender and include a clear and functional unsubscribe method. You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us. We will process unsubscribe requests promptly and, where applicable law requires, no later than 10 business days after the request is received.
Unsubscribing from marketing emails will not prevent us from sending you non-promotional communications that are necessary to respond to your inquiry, complete a transaction you requested, provide a product or service you purchased, or otherwise manage our relationship with you.
HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT INFORMATION
We collect personal information only where there is a lawful basis to do so and only for purposes that are identified in this Privacy Policy or at or before the time of collection.
We collect information to operate the Website, provide the products, services, resources, and information you request, process transactions, respond to inquiries, maintain our records, improve the Website and user experience, protect the security and integrity of the Website and our business, and, where permitted by law and subject to your choices, send marketing or promotional communications and support analytics, advertising, and related business activities.
In many cases, you can browse the Website without actively providing personal information. However, if you choose to contact us, subscribe to emails, submit a form, leave a comment, download a resource, purchase a product or service, or use certain Website features, we may ask you to provide the information reasonably necessary for that purpose.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before collecting, using, or disclosing your personal information for a particular purpose. Where required by applicable law, consent requests will be presented clearly and separately, and you may withdraw your consent later, subject to legal or contractual restrictions and reasonable notice.
If you choose to receive marketing or newsletter emails from us, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us.
HOW DO WE USE THE INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO US?
We use the personal information you provide to us for the purposes for which it was collected or for purposes that are consistent with those purposes and permitted by applicable law.
Depending on how you interact with the Website, we may use personal information you provide to us to:
- present the Website and its contents to you;

- process purchases and transactions;
- provide information about your orders, subscriptions, downloads, or other interactions with us;
- administer our business operations and provide customer service;
- maintain our records;

- comply with legal, regulatory, contractual, and risk-management obligations.
Where permitted by law and subject to your choices, we may also use your personal information to send you marketing or promotional communications about our own products, services, content, or offers.
We will not use the personal information you provide to us for unrelated third-party marketing purposes unless we have an appropriate legal basis to do so and have provided any consent choice required by applicable law.
For information about advertising, cookies, pixels, analytics, and personalized or non-personalized ads shown on the Website, please see the sections titled Display Ads, Use of Cookies and Pixels, and Third Party Use of Cookies above.
DISCLOSURE OF YOUR INFORMATION
We do not sell, rent, or lease your personal information for monetary consideration. We may disclose personal information, including information collected through your use of the Website, only as described in this Privacy Policy, with your consent where required, or as otherwise permitted or required by applicable law.
We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients, as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy:
- Service providers and contractors who help us operate the Website and our business, including providers of website hosting, analytics, advertising technology, email communications, payment processing, customer support, security, technical services, and related business operations;
- Affiliates or related entities, if any, that support the operation of the Website or the provision of products or services;
- Professional advisers and collection-related parties, including lawyers, accountants, insurers, auditors, and collection agencies, where reasonably necessary to obtain advice, enforce our rights, collect amounts owing, or protect our legal interests;
- Business transferees or successors in connection with a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, dissolution, or similar business transaction; and
- Government authorities, regulators, courts, law enforcement, or other persons authorized by law, where disclosure is required or permitted by law, legal process, court order, or where reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, property, or the security and integrity of the Website or our business.
Some of these recipients may process, store, or access personal information outside your province, territory, or country of residence, including outside Québec. Where applicable, personal information communicated outside Québec or to service providers outside Québec will be handled in accordance with applicable law, including appropriate assessments, contractual safeguards, and other measures required to provide a suitable level of protection.
When we disclose personal information to service providers or other third parties acting on our behalf, we require them to use the information only for the services or purposes authorized by us and to protect it using appropriate safeguards.
For more information about disclosures involving advertising, cookies, pixels, analytics, and similar technologies, please see the sections titled Display Ads, Use of Cookies and Pixels, and Third Party Use of Cookies above.
HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION AND SECURE INFORMATION TRANSMISSIONS?
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, use, disclosure, copying, modification, or destruction. The safeguards we use are appropriate to the sensitivity of the personal information and the manner in which it is collected, used, stored, communicated, and retained.
These safeguards may include measures such as access controls, password protections, role-based access limitations, security monitoring, secure third-party service providers, and other safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information and the services being provided. Where information is submitted through secure areas of the Website, we use secure transmission methods appropriate to the Website and the sensitivity of the information.
Please do not send highly sensitive personal information to us by ordinary email unless we specifically request that method or no more secure method is reasonably available. Regular email may not always be a secure method of communication. If you contact us by email, we will take reasonable steps to protect the information you send us, but email transmissions may still involve security risks outside our control.
If we become aware of a breach of security safeguards or a confidentiality incident involving personal information under our control, we will assess the incident, take reasonable steps to reduce the risk of harm and prevent a recurrence, keep records where required by applicable law, and provide notices to affected individuals, regulators, or other persons where required by law.
While we take reasonable steps to protect personal information, no security safeguards can guarantee absolute security in every circumstance.
POLICY CHANGES
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our legal, regulatory, operational, technical, or business practices.
When we make changes, we will post the updated Privacy Policy on this page and update the Last Updated date at the top or bottom of the policy.
If we make material changes to how we collect, use, disclose, or otherwise handle personal information, we may provide additional notice that is appropriate in the circumstances, such as a prominent notice on the Website, an email notice where we have your contact information, or another method permitted by applicable law.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before applying material changes to your personal information in a way that involves a new purpose, a new disclosure, or another practice for which consent is required.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect personal information.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We may use Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use the Website, measure Website performance, and improve our content, services, and user experience.
Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Website. Depending on how the service is configured, this may include information such as pages viewed, traffic and usage patterns, browser and device information, approximate location information, referring pages, and interactions with the Website. This information may be transmitted to and processed by Google on our behalf in accordance with Google’s terms and privacy practices.
Where required by applicable law, we will obtain your consent before using Google Analytics or related analytics cookies and similar technologies. You can manage your choices through our cookie or consent tools where available, through your browser settings, and through Google’s available privacy and opt-out tools.
Google currently offers a Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on that prevents the Google Analytics JavaScript running on websites from sharing visit activity information with Google Analytics. More information about Google Analytics and Google’s privacy practices is available through Google’s privacy and analytics documentation.
We do not intentionally send personally identifiable information to Google Analytics through the Website.
RECAPTCHA
We use reCAPTCHA, a service provided by Google, to help protect the Website and its forms from spam, fraud, abuse, and other automated misuse.
reCAPTCHA analyzes interactions with the Website to help determine whether an interaction is being made by a legitimate user or by an automated process. Depending on how reCAPTCHA is configured, Google may process information related to your use of the relevant page or form, which may include your IP address and technical, browser, device, and interaction data needed for security and risk analysis.
We use reCAPTCHA for security, fraud prevention, and abuse prevention. Where required by applicable law, we will obtain any consent required for cookies or similar technologies associated with reCAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA may use the _grecaptcha cookie as part of its operation.
Google currently states that, for reCAPTCHA customer data, the website operator is the data controller and Google acts as a data processor. For that reason, our use of reCAPTCHA is described in this Privacy Policy as part of our own Website security and abuse-prevention practices.
For more information about our use of cookies and similar technologies, please see the sections titled Use of Cookies and Pixels and Third Party Use of Cookies above.
