Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At GPDTA we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it.
- We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
Grande Prairie Downtown Association (“GPDTA”) operates a website at www.gptour.ca. It is GPDTA’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our website.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, GPDTA collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. GPDTA’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how GPDTA’s visitors use its website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to GPDTA’s websites choose to interact with GPDTA in ways that require GPDTA to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that GPDTA gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For example, we ask visitors who share there photos and stories at www.gptour.ca to provide a name, phone number and email address so we can contact them. In any case, GPDTA collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with GPDTA. GPDTA does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
GPDTA may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. For instance, GPDTA may monitor the most popular pages on the www.gptour.ca site. GPDTA may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, GPDTA does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
GPDTA discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on GPDTA’s behalf or to provide services available at GPDTA’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using GPDTA’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. GPDTA will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, GPDTA discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when GPDTA believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of GPDTA, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of the GPDTA website and have supplied your email address, GPDTA may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with GPDTA and our products. GPDTA takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.
