At Golf Away Tours, we are dedicated to ensuring the security and confidentiality of your personal information. Accordingly, we have developed the following Privacy Policy as required by the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.
As a Golf Away Tours client, you share personal information with us. You do this so that we can serve you better, knowing we will honour and respect your privacy. Your trust is not misplaced. At Golf Away Tours, we are committed to offering the highest possible level of personal travel service, so it should come as no surprise that we protect your privacy similarly.
Please review this publication carefully as we want you to know about our commitment to use and disclose your personal information responsibly and only to the extent necessary for the travel products and services we provide.
Golf Away Tours
Since 1998, Golf Away Tours has been serving golfers by arranging golf vacations that best meet their wants. We offer a wide variety of golf packages ranging from custom-tailored European golf tours to pre-packaged golf vacations to North American and Caribbean destinations.
We deal with a number of respected industry suppliers and third parties that may, during the course of their duties, have limited access to the personal client information we hold. These include airlines, hotels, golf resorts, golf courses, ground handlers, transport companies, computer reservations system providers, and other travel-related vendors. We restrict their access to such personal information and we seek their assurances that they follow similar privacy principles in accordance with their own legislative requirements.
What is Personal Information?
Personal information is information about an identifiable individual. It includes your full name, address, telephone and fax number (s), date of birth, e-mail address, credit card numbers, passport number and any other information that identifies who you are or would allow someone to contact you. It can also include information about your travel experience and preferences as well as your interests and expectations. Personal information allows us to get to know you better. Knowing you better helps us to understand your travel needs, to communicate effectively with you, and to provide you with the services and products you want.
Personal information only becomes known to Golf Away Tours when you provide it to us or when a third party such as a family member, business colleague or group coordinator books with us on your behalf.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
We collect, use and disclose personal information to fulfill our service obligations. Personal information allows us to make and secure reservations, issue transportation documents and vouchers, and to arrange travel insurance.
Your personal information also permits us to protect you and ourselves from error and fraud. It helps us understand your need and eligibility for products and services, to provide ongoing services, and to recommend products and services in which you may have interest.
Disclosure
Golf Away Tours does not sell your personal information to third parties and does not disclose it except as may be required to process your request for travel services. In short, we don't sell or share our client list.
Security
Golf Away Tours has in place security measures and procedures to ensure that your personal information is protected from misuse and unauthorized access. Workstations are turned off at the end of each workday with individual passwords required at each station.
Paper records are kept in locked filing cabinets.
All records that include personal information belonging to persons we have had no correspondence with for a period of five (5) years are shredded, unless such information is required to be maintained for statutory reasons. However, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot ensure the security of the information you transmit to us over the Internet.
