Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association collects personally identifying information about you only when you specifically and knowingly provide it to us. Your personally identifying information will be used to personalize your experience with the VisitParksvilleQualicumBeach.com, or for such other purposes as are described at any point where VisitParksvilleQualicumBeach.com collects this information from you.

Information that personally identifies you will be kept strictly confidential.

Personally identifying information which you choose to provide to another party or website will be subject to their privacy policy. For example, if you purchase goods or services online from a merchant you found while searching VisitParksvilleQualicumBeach.com, information you provide to that merchant is subject to their privacy policy rather than ours.

WHAT IS "PERSONALLY IDENTIFYING INFORMATION"?

"Personally identifying information" is information that can be explicitly used to identify and/or contact you as an individual.This includes information like your real name, e-mail address, mailing address, phone number, credit card number, etc. Information that, by itself, cannot be explicitly linked with your "real" identity is not considered personally identifying.

On occasion, Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association may ask you for personal information such as your name or address. We do this when you request further information, register for contests/promotions or services that require registration or subscription.

Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association needs to collect this information for mailing requested information, fulfilling prizes, and for tracking/verifying compliance with Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association policies. It may also be needed for purposes of compliance with federal, provincial and local laws and/or for editorial and feedback solicitation purposes.

When we intend to use your personal information, we tell you up front. This way you can decide whether you want to give us the information or not.

LINKS TO OTHER SITES

Users should be aware that when you are on VisitParksvilleQualicumBeach.com, you could be directed to other sites that are beyond our control.

This includes links to Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association members, advertisers, sponsors and partners that may use the Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association logo as part of a co-branding agreement. These other sites may send cookies to users, collect data or solicit personal information. Always be aware of where you end up! Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association's policy does not extend to anything that is inherent in the operation of the Internet, and therefore beyond Parksville Qualicum Beach Tourism Association's control, and is not to be applied in any manner contrary to applicable law or governmental regulation.
