Whistler Wired Vacations Inc. Privacy Policy

Whistler Wired Vacations Inc. (Whistler Wired) provides this Privacy Policy to inform you of our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use and disclosure of personal information we receive from users of www.whistlerwired.com (this \”Site\”). This Privacy Policy applies only to information that you provide to us through this Site. This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on the Site. You are advised to consult this policy regularly for any changes.

INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER

YOUR INFORMATION MAY BE TRANSFERRED TO – AND MAINTAINED ON – COMPUTERS LOCATED OUTSIDE OF YOUR STATE, PROVINCE, COUNTRY OR OTHER GOVERNMENTAL JURISDICTION WHERE THE PRIVACY LAWS MAY NOT BE AS PROTECTIVE AS THOSE IN YOUR JURISDICTION. IF YOU ARE LOCATED OUTSIDE CANADA AND CHOOSE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO US, WHISTLERWIRED.COM TRANSFERS PERSONAL INFORMATION TO CANDA AND PROCESSES IT THERE. YOUR CONSENT TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOLLOWED BY YOUR SUBMISSION OF SUCH INFORMATION REPRESENTS YOUR AGREEMENT TO THAT TRANSFER AND THE TERMS OF THIS PRIVACY POLICY. YOU CAN CHANGE OR DELETE YOUR INFORMATION AS PROVIDED HEREIN.

INFORMATION COLLECTION AND USE

Our primary goals in collecting information are to provide and improve our Site, services, features and content, to administer your whistlerwired.com Membership (together, the \”Service\”) and to enable users to enjoy and easily navigate the Site.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION

When you choose to book an accommodation or when you wish to contact a Whistler Wired Member, we will ask you for personally identifiable information. This refers to information about you that can be used to contact or identify you (\”Identity Information\”). Identity Information includes, but is not limited to, your name, phone number, email address and home postal address, but does not include your credit card number or billing information. In order to process some of your transactions through the Site, we may also ask for your credit card number and billing information (\”Billing Information\”) (Identity Information and Billing Information together, \”Personal Information\”). However, if the address of a listing you post matches that of your credit card billing address, that address would be considered Identity Information. We use your Personal Information mainly to provide the Service and administer your inquiries but we also use it as specified below including to send you information you may find of interest. We also collect the other information that you provide as part of registration and the administration and personalization of your profile. We use your Personal Information (in some cases, in conjunction with your Non-Identifying Information) mainly to provide the Service, complete your transactions, and administer your inquiries. Certain Non-Identifying Information would be considered a part of your Personal Information if it were combined with other identifiers (for example, combining your postal or zip code with your street address) in a way that enables you to be identified. But the same pieces of information are considered Non-Identifying Information when they are taken alone or combined only with other non-identifying information (for example, your demographic information). We also use your Personal Information to contact you with marketing or promotional materials and other information that may be of interest to you. If you decide at any time that you no longer wish to receive such communications from us, please contact us at connect@whistlerwired.com. Please note that we may also use your Personal Information to contact you with information related to your use of the Service; you may not opt out of these notifications.

LOG DATA

When you visit the Site our servers automatically record information that your browser sends whenever you visit a website (\”Log Data\”). This Log Data may include information such as your computer\’s Internet Protocol (\”IP\”) address, browser type or the webpage you were visiting before you came to our Site, pages of our Site that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you search for on our Site, access times and dates, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze use of the Site and the Service and for the Site\’s technical administration, to increase our Site\’s functionality and user-friendliness, and to better tailor it to our visitors\’ needs. We also use this information to verify that visitors to the Site meet the criteria required to process their requests. We do not treat Log Data as Personal Information or use it in association with other Personal Information, though we may aggregate, analyze and evaluate such information for the same purposes as stated above regarding other Non-Identifying Information.

COOKIES

Like many websites, we use \”cookies\” to collect information. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your computer\’s hard disk for record-keeping purposes. We use cookies for two purposes. First, we utilize persistent cookies to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Site. Second, we utilize session ID cookies to enable certain features of the Site, to better understand how you interact with the Site and to monitor aggregate usage by whistlerwired.com users and web traffic routing on the Site. Unlike persistent cookies, session cookies are deleted from your computer when you log off from the Site and Service and then close your browser. Third parties who place ads on the Site, such as Google Ad-words, may also place or read cookies on your browser. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all portions of the Site or all functionality of the Service.

PHISHING

Identity theft and the practice currently known as \”phishing\” are of great concern to InvitedHome.com. Safeguarding information to help protect you from identity theft is a top priority. We do not and will not, at any time, request your credit card information in a non-secure or unsolicited e-mail or telephone communication.

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE OVERVIEW

In no event is a Traveler\’s Billing Information shared. Whistler Wired uses a third party processor for all payment card transactions and does not capture or store any payment card information.

WHISTLER WIRED LISTINGS

If an Owner has a lodging space to list, whistlerwired.com may publish that listing anywhere on the Site and may enable third parties including but not limited to HomeAway, AirBnB, Expedia, and FlipKey to publish your listing on their site through the use of secure APIs. We may also display the geographical location of your listing in the form of a map so that potential Travelers can see the general area and neighborhood of your listing, but your actual street address will not be disclosed until a guest enters into a confirmed transaction. If a Guest enters into a confirmed transaction then the street address of your listing will be provided to the Guest.

AGGREGATE INFORMATION AND NON-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION

We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information and Log Data with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.

THIRD PARTIES

We may employ third party companies and individuals to facilitate our Service, to provide the Service on our behalf, to perform Site-related services (e.g., without limitation, maintenance services, database management, payment card processing, web analytics and improvement of the Site\’s features) or to assist us in analyzing how our Site and Service are used. These third parties may have access to your Personal Information; if they do, this access is only so that they may perform these tasks on our behalf and they are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. We may also use services such as HubSpot, Google, or Facebook to associate information about you from third party sites with your Site account. We may also provide Personal Information to our business partners or other trusted entities for the purpose of providing you with information on goods or services we believe will be of interest to you. You can, at any time, opt out of receiving such communications by emailing us directly or calling us at the number below. Third party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user\’s prior visits to InvitedHome.com. You can disable these specific cookies that track prior visits for the sake of follow-up advertising by opting out at http://www.google.com/privacy_ads.html.

COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT

Whistler Wired cooperates with government and law enforcement officials and private parties to enforce and comply with the law. We will disclose any information about you to government or law enforcement officials or private parties as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate to respond to claims and legal process (including but not limited to subpoenas), to protect the property and rights of InvitedHome.com or a third party, to protect the safety of the public or any person, or to prevent or stop activity we may consider to be, or to pose a risk of being, any illegal, unethical or legally actionable activity.

CHANGING OR DELETING YOUR INFORMATION

All Guests may review, update, correct or delete the Personal Information in their registration profile by contacting us at connect@whistlerwired.com . If you would like us to delete your record in our system, please contact us and we will attempt to accommodate your request if we do not have any legal obligation to retain the record. See below for privacy contact information.

SECURITY

Whistler Wired is very concerned with safeguarding your information. We employ administrative, physical and electronic measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access. We will make any legally required disclosures of any breach of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of your unencrypted electronically stored \”personal data\” (as defined in applicable state statutes on security breach notification) to you via email or conspicuous posting on this Site in the most expedient time possible and without unreasonable delay, insofar as consistent with (i) the legitimate needs of law enforcement or (ii) any measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach and restore the reasonable integrity of the data system.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Our Site may contain links to other websites. If you choose to visit a third party link, you will be directed to that third party\’s website. The fact that we link to a website is not an endorsement, authorization or representation of our affiliation with that third party, nor is it an endorsement of their privacy or information security policies or practices. We do not exercise control over third party websites. These other websites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you. Other sites follow different rules regarding the use or disclosure of the personal information you submit to them. We encourage you to read the privacy policies or statements of the other websites you visit.
