Personal Information about Travelers is collected so that Travelers can make reservations at Casablanca Winery Inn and so that Casablanca Winery Inn can receive and have updated reservation information about Travelers who wish to stay at Casablanca Winery Inn. Some of a Traveler's Personal Information (such as a credit card number) may be stored to facilitate the making of future reservations by such Traveler.

We may also combine that information with publicly available information and information we receive from others or cross-reference. We use that combined information for the purposes described in this privacy policy.

Although unlikely, in certain instances we may disclose your personally identifiable information when we have reason to believe that it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against persons or entities who may be causing injury to you, to Casablanca Winery Inn or to others. We may also disclose your personally identifiable information when we believe the law requires it.

Casablanca Winery Inn takes special care to protect the safety and privacy of children. Our web site is a general audience site. We do not permit anyone under the age of 13 to register with us or make hotel reservations. We also do not send email correspondence to anyone who tells us that they are under the age of 13.

Children under the age of 13 should always ask their parents or guardians for permission before providing any personal information to anyone online. We urge parents and guardians to participate in their children's online activities and use parental control or other web filtering technology to supervise children's access to the web.

Our web site and emails may use "cookies" and other computer code processes, such as "web beacons". These are small amounts of computer code that interact with your computer, browser or email. Generally, we use cookies to remind us of who you are, tailor our services to suit your personal interests, to process your reservations or requests, and/or to analyze your visiting patterns. You can generally set your browser to not accept cookies or to notify you when you are sent a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether or not to accept it.

We may contract with third parties who may use cookies or web beacons on our websites and collect information on our behalf. These third parties are prohibited by our contracts with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or other third parties providing services to us.

If you do not wish for your Personal Information to be disclosed to any third parties, besides Casablanca Winery Inn, please let us know.  Within a reasonable time after receiving your request to not distribute your Personal Information to such third parties, we will cease any distribution to such third parties. Please be aware that if you choose to not have your Personal Information distributed to such third parties, then we may not be able to provide all of the available services to you or such services may not be delivered as quickly.

4. Onward Transfer
Please note that our descriptions of our activities under the "Notice" and "Choice" principles above describe certain transfers of Personal Information that Casablanca Winery Inn will be making to third parties.

Casablanca Winery Inn wants all individuals who submit Personal Information to Casablanca Winery Inn to understand that anyone who submits Personal Information, by submitting such Personal Information and checking the appropriate box which indicates that such individual is consenting to the use and transfer of Personal Information in accordance with this privacy policy, authorizes certain data transfers of such Personal Information to Casablanca Winery Inn and/or other third parties ("Transfer Recipients") for use of such Personal Information by Transfer Recipients in accordance with the description provided in the "Notice" section. Transfer Recipients may not necessarily be in the European Union, Canada or countries which have been deemed by the European Union and/or Canada to have "adequate" data protection laws, and may be in territories like the United States where an equivalent level of data protection is not granted.

5. Enforcement
Casablanca Winery Inn engages in self-assessment on a periodic basis in order to determine its continued compliance with the requirements of PIPEDA and the terms of this privacy policy.

6. Dispute Resolution
All Travelers who submit Personal Information to Casablanca Winery Inn and who feel that Casablanca Winery Inn has mishandled their Personal Information in violation of PIPEDA ("Disputing Party") should contact Casablanca Winery Inn through its Customer Relations department with a written description of their complaint. After receiving such written description, a representative from Casablanca Winery Inn's Customer Relations department will contact the Disputing Party to set up a time and manner to discuss the Disputing Party's complaint. Casablanca Winery Inn is interested in addressing all legitimate complaints about its adherence to PIPEDA, and believes that a Disputing Party and Casablanca Winery Inn should make a good faith effort to engage in communications to work out or settle any of a Disputing Party's complaints. If these good faith efforts fail to resolve the dispute, then the Disputing Party shall have the opportunity to make use of an independent, dispute resolution procedure.

 If Casablanca Winery Inn agrees to adopt the services of another independent, dispute resolution procedure, it will do so only after revising its privacy policy to reflect such new procedure and by informing all Disputing Party's of such change.

A Disputing Party and Casablanca Winery Inn may agree to use an independent dispute resolution body or procedure to resolve disputes about Casablanca Winery Inn's compliance with PIPEDA upon mutual written agreement of both parties.

7. Remedies
If it is determined by an independent dispute resolution body or procedure that Casablanca Winery Inn has engaged in behavior not in compliance with the requirements of PIPEDA, Casablanca Winery Inn may be ordered to engage in actions necessary to reverse or correct any actions taken by Casablanca Winery Inn which were in violation of  PIPEDA and which were harmful to the Disputing Party. Casablanca Winery Inn may also be required to take all actions deemed necessary for Casablanca Winery Inn to be in compliance with PIPEDA in the future.

8. Links to Third Party Sites
Our web sites may contain links to web sites operated and maintained by third parties, over which we have no control. Privacy policies on such linked sites may be different from our privacy policy. You access such linked sites at your own risk. You should always read the privacy policy of a linked site before disclosing any personal information on such site.

Casablanca Winery Inn reserves the right to modify this privacy policy at any time without prior notice. The privacy policy posted on this Web site will be the current version dated with the last revision date. Any changes will apply to all information collected by Casablanca Winery Inn, including previously collected information. Users are responsible to regularly review these terms and conditions.
