Privacy Policy

We're serious about keeping your information safe and sound

Last Updated: October 23, 2025

Hey there! We get it - reading privacy policies isn't exactly anyone's idea of a good time. But here at Glaivion Valor Crest Hotel, we figure you deserve to know exactly what we do with your info. So we've tried to make this as straightforward as possible. Grab a coffee, and let's walk through it together.

Who We Are

We're Glaivion Valor Crest Hotel, nestled up in the beautiful mountains of Whistler. We run a luxury resort and conference center where folks come to unwind, hold meetings, hit the slopes, and generally have a great time. Our operation is based at 1847 Crest Mountain Drive, Whistler, BC V8E 0X9, Canada.

When we talk about "we," "us," or "our" in this policy, we're referring to Glaivion Valor Crest Hotel and our team who work hard to make your stay memorable.

What Information We Collect

Personal Details You Give Us

When you're booking a room or signing up for one of our adventure tours, we'll need some basics:

  • Your name and contact info (email, phone number)
  • Mailing address for billing purposes
  • Payment details to process your reservation
  • Special requests or preferences (like dietary needs for our restaurant)
  • Emergency contact info - just in case
Technical Stuff

Like most websites these days, we automatically collect some tech data when you're browsing around:

  • Your IP address and browser type
  • How you found us and which pages you checked out
  • Device info and operating system
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies (more on that below)
Feedback & Reviews

If you leave us a review or send feedback about your stay, we'll keep that on file too. We love hearing from guests - both the good stuff and areas where we can improve.

How We Use Your Information

Running Our Business

We use your info to handle reservations, process payments, communicate about your booking, and make sure everything runs smoothly during your stay. Pretty standard stuff.

Keeping You Updated

We might send you confirmation emails, updates about your reservation, or info about services you've asked about. We won't spam you - that's annoying and we know it.

Making Things Better

We analyze how people use our website and services to improve the experience. If everyone's clicking on spa services, maybe we need to expand that area, y'know?

Legal Compliance

Sometimes we're required to keep records for legal or regulatory reasons. It's not the fun part of running a hotel, but it's necessary.

Who We Share Your Info With

We're not in the business of selling your data to random companies. That said, we do share info in specific situations:

We work with trusted partners who help us run the hotel - payment processors, booking platforms, tour operators, and tech providers. They only get the info they need to do their job, and they're contractually bound to keep it secure.

If you're attending a conference or event at our hotel, we might share your registration info with the event organizers. That's usually necessary for things like name badges, meal planning, and activity coordination.

If we're legally required to disclose information (like a court order or government request), we'll comply with the law. We'll push back on overly broad requests, but we're not above the law either.

Cookies & Tracking

Okay, real talk about cookies - we're not talking about the chocolate chip kind from our bakery (though those are awesome). Web cookies are tiny files that help our site work better.

What We Use Them For:
  • Essential cookies: These keep the site functioning - like remembering what's in your cart or keeping you logged in
  • Analytics cookies: Help us understand which pages are popular and where people get stuck
  • Marketing cookies: Track whether our ads are working (with your permission)

You can adjust your browser settings to block cookies, but heads up - some parts of our site might not work as well. Most browsers let you manage cookies pretty easily in the settings menu.

How We Protect Your Data

We take security seriously around here. Your payment info is encrypted, our systems are regularly updated, and we've got protocols in place to prevent unauthorized access.

That said, let's be honest - no system is 100% hack-proof. We do everything we can to protect your info, but we can't guarantee absolute security. What we can promise is that if something does go wrong, we'll let you know promptly and work to fix it.

Pro tip: Use strong, unique passwords for your account. And please don't use "password123" - we've seen that way too many times!

Your Rights & Choices

Since we're operating in Canada, you've got some solid rights when it comes to your personal data:

Access

You can ask to see what personal info we have about you

Correction

If something's wrong or outdated, you can have it corrected

Deletion

Request that we delete your info (with some legal exceptions)

Opt-Out

Unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime

Portability

Get a copy of your data in a usable format

Questions

Ask us anything about how we handle your data

Want to exercise any of these rights? Just shoot us an email at reservations@glaivionvalorcrest.info or give us a call at (604) 555-7829. We'll get back to you within 30 days.

How Long We Keep Your Data

We don't keep your info forever - that'd be weird and unnecessary. Here's the general breakdown:

  • Reservation info: We keep this for 7 years for accounting and tax purposes (boring but legally required)
  • Marketing preferences: Until you opt out or we haven't heard from you in 3 years
  • Website analytics: Usually aggregated and anonymized after 26 months
  • Security footage: Typically deleted after 90 days unless there's an incident

If you close your account or ask us to delete your data, we'll do so within a reasonable timeframe - though we might need to keep some info for legal compliance.

Links to Other Sites

Our website might link to other sites - like local attractions, tour operators, or booking platforms. Just so you know, we're not responsible for their privacy practices. Once you click away from our site, their rules apply. We'd recommend checking out their privacy policies too.

Privacy for Younger Guests

Our website isn't designed for kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their personal information. If you're booking for your family, please handle the reservation as the adult. If we discover we've accidentally collected info from a child, we'll delete it ASAP.

International Data Transfers

We're based in Canada, but some of our service providers might be located elsewhere. When we transfer data internationally, we make sure there are appropriate safeguards in place - like standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms under Canadian law.

Updates to This Policy

Things change - laws get updated, we add new services, technology evolves. When we make significant changes to this privacy policy, we'll post the updated version here and update the "Last Updated" date at the top. For major changes, we might also send you an email.

We'd recommend checking back here occasionally, especially if you're a regular guest. Nobody does that, we know, but it's worth mentioning.

Questions? We're Here to Help

Look, we know this is a lot of information. If you've got questions about how we handle your data, or if you want to exercise any of your rights, just reach out. We're real people and we're happy to chat.
