Privacy Policy

We take protecting your personal info seriously - no dark magic here, just honest transparency

Last Updated: November 5, 2025

Welcome to Our Privacy Charter

Look, we get it - privacy policies aren't exactly thrilling reading material. But here at Mythral Forgeverse Resort & Spa, we believe you deserve to know exactly what happens with your personal information when you book a stay or browse our site.

This policy lays out the basics of how we collect, use, and protect your data. We're based in British Columbia, Canada, so we follow all the Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA and all that jazz), plus we respect international regulations like GDPR for our friends visiting from overseas.

We're not gonna sell your email to some sketchy marketing list or share your credit card info with random third parties. Your trust means everything to us, and we take that responsibility seriously.

Quick Note

If you're under 18, please have a parent or guardian review this policy with you before providing any personal information. We don't knowingly collect data from minors without parental consent.

What Info We Collect

Personal Details You Give Us

When you make a reservation or create an account, we'll ask for stuff like:

  • Your name (first and last - pretty standard)
  • Email address and phone number so we can reach you
  • Mailing address for billing and correspondence
  • Payment card info (which we process through secure encrypted channels)
  • Date of birth if you're booking age-restricted experiences
  • Dietary restrictions or accessibility needs (helps us serve you better)
  • Special requests like room preferences or celebration details

Stuff We Collect Automatically

When you visit our website, we gather some technical data:

  • IP address and general location info
  • Browser type and device you're using
  • Pages you visit and how long you hang around
  • Referral source (how you found us)
  • Cookie data for site functionality and preferences

Guest Experience Data

During your stay, we might collect:

  • Photos or videos if you participate in our events (with your permission)
  • Feedback from surveys or reviews
  • Preferences from your interactions with our concierge team
  • Loyalty program activity if you're a returning adventurer

How We Use Your Information

We're not collecting data just for fun - here's what we actually do with it:

Processing Your Bookings

Obviously, we need your info to confirm reservations, process payments, and communicate details about your stay. Can't really run a hotel without that.

Personalizing Your Experience

If you've told us you prefer a room on a higher floor or you're vegetarian, we'll remember that for next time. We want every visit to feel tailored to you.

Marketing Communications

With your consent, we'll send newsletters about special offers, events, or new experiences. You can opt out anytime - no hard feelings.

Improving Our Services

We analyze guest feedback and website usage to figure out what's working and what needs tweaking. All done with aggregated, anonymized data.

Legal Compliance

Sometimes we're legally required to keep records for tax purposes, prevent fraud, or comply with law enforcement requests. Not the fun part, but necessary.

When We Share Your Data

We're pretty protective of your information, but there are a few situations where we need to share it:

Service Providers

We work with trusted third-party companies who help us run things smoothly:

  • Payment processors for secure credit card transactions
  • Email service providers for newsletters and booking confirmations
  • Cloud hosting services for data storage
  • Analytics platforms to understand website traffic
  • Booking platforms and travel agencies if that's how you found us

These companies are contractually bound to keep your data secure and only use it for the specific services they provide.

Legal Requirements

If we're legally obligated - like responding to a court order or valid government request - we'll disclose information as required. We'll always verify the legitimacy of such requests first.

Business Transfers

If the resort were ever sold or merged with another company (not planning on it, but who knows), your data would transfer to the new owners. They'd still be bound by this privacy policy though.

What We Don't Do

We absolutely do not sell your personal information to data brokers, marketers, or anyone else. Your data isn't a commodity to us - it's a trust.

Your Privacy Rights

You've got rights when it comes to your personal data. Here's what you can do:

Access Your Data

Request a copy of what personal information we have on file for you.

Correct Inaccuracies

If something's wrong or outdated, let us know and we'll fix it.

Request Deletion

Ask us to delete your personal data (with some legal exceptions).

Restrict Processing

Limit how we use your information in certain circumstances.

Data Portability

Get your data in a machine-readable format to transfer elsewhere.

Opt-Out of Marketing

Unsubscribe from promotional emails anytime with one click.

How to Exercise Your Rights

Just reach out to us at reservations@mythralforgeverse.info or call (604) 555-2847. We'll respond within 30 days and verify your identity before processing any requests (gotta make sure we're talking to the right person).

If you're in the EU or other regions with specific privacy laws, you've got additional rights under GDPR or similar regulations. We'll honor those too.

Cookie Policy

Yeah, we use cookies - not the chocolate chip kind, unfortunately. These are small files that help our website work better and remember your preferences.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the site to function. They handle stuff like keeping you logged in, maintaining your booking session, and ensuring secure transactions. Can't really turn these off without breaking things.

Performance Cookies

These help us understand how visitors use the site - which pages are popular, where people are getting stuck, load times, etc. All anonymous data that helps us make improvements.

Functionality Cookies

Remember your language preference? Or that you prefer the dark mode interface? That's these cookies at work, making your experience more personalized.

Marketing Cookies

Used to track you across websites and show relevant ads. We only use these with your explicit consent, and you can opt out anytime through our cookie settings.

Managing Cookies

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. You can block or delete them, though some site features might not work properly if you do. Check your browser's help section for instructions.

Third-Party Cookies

We use services like Google Analytics and social media plugins, which set their own cookies. Their privacy policies apply to those - we don't control what they do, but we only work with reputable companies.

Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for data transmission, secure servers for storage, and regular security audits. Our staff undergoes privacy training, and access to personal data is strictly limited to those who need it for their jobs.

That said, no system is 100% foolproof. We'll notify you promptly if there's ever a data breach affecting your information.

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as needed. Booking records are typically retained for 7 years (tax requirements), while marketing data is kept until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe.

Once we don't need your data anymore, we'll securely delete or anonymize it.

International Transfers

We're based in Canada, but some of our service providers might be located elsewhere. If your data leaves Canada, we ensure proper safeguards are in place through standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms.

Policy Updates

We might update this policy occasionally to reflect new practices or legal requirements. Major changes will be announced via email or a prominent notice on our site. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when the most recent revision happened.

Questions or Concerns?

If something's unclear or you've got privacy questions, don't hesitate to reach out. We'd rather answer your questions than have you wondering what's going on with your data.
