Introduction. The Travelway Inn has a strong commitment
to providing excellent service to all of our customers, including
respecting their concerns about privacy. We understand that visitors
to our website may have questions about whether and how this website
collects and uses information. Accordingly, we have prepared this
statement to inform you of the privacy principles that govern www.travelwayinnsudbury.com.
Browsing. Visitors who browse this website do
so on an anonymous basis. We have not configured this website to
collect any information from your computer without your input. This
means that, unless you voluntarily and knowingly provide us with
information, we will not know your identity, your e-mail address,
or any other information identifiable to you.
Information. When we need to collect information
from you, we will ask you to voluntarily supply us with the information
we need. For example, if you would like to make a reservation at
our hotel, we will ask you for information such as name, address,
telephone number, e-mail address, credit card type, credit card
number, expiration date and room preference (non-smoking room or
no preference) to process your reservation. We will use your e-mail
address to send a confirmation and, if necessary, might use the
other information to contact you for help to process the reservation.
The same type of information would be requested to complete a gift
certificate transaction. For our e-mail community, we will use your
name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address to process your
subscription and to also unsubscribe from the mailing list. When
we ask you for personal data when making a reservation or purchasing
a gift certificate, including your name, address and credit card
data, it is transferred over a Secured Sockets Layer (SSL) line
provided you are using a SSL enabled browser such as Microsoft Internet
Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This ensures that your information
is encrypted as it travels over the Internet. This secure mode is
enabled before any such information is transmitted from your computer.
You will know you are in secure mode when the padlock icon in the
lower right hand corner of the computer screen appears in the locked
position. In addition, when accessing a secure server, the first
characters of the site address will change from "http"
to "https." After information reaches The Travelway Inn
it is stored on a secure server that resides behind a firewall that
is designed to block access from outside the company.
We may also ask you to fill out an online customer survey, to obtain
your suggestions or comments about your use of The Travelway Inn
services, or for similar purposes. Providing this information is
voluntary.
Internet Protocol (IP) Address. An IP address
is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer every
time you browse the Internet. When users request a page from our
site, our servers log the user's current IP address. We use IP addresses
to help diagnose problems. We do not link IP addresses to anything
personally identifiable. Thus, each user session is anonymous.
The Travelway Inn Use of Information. We treat
the information you provide to us as confidential information; it
is, accordingly, subject to our company's security procedures and
strict corporate policies regarding protection and use of confidential
information. Because laws applicable to personal information vary
by country, our hotel or other business operations may put in place
additional measures that vary depending on the applicable legal
requirements. Information is generally processed and stored in Canada,
in which data protection laws are not as comprehensive as in the
European Union.
The gift certificate, e-mail community, survey and other such non-reservations
information is used only for the purpose for which the information
was collected and is not used for direct marketing or shared with
other companies. The personal information you provide to us for
making a reservation is made available to The Travelway Inn for
the purpose of meeting your reservation request. If you cancel your
reservation, the information is stored for record-keeping purposes
only and is not accessed again. After completing your stay at The
Travelway Inn, the information you provide may be used for direct
marketing by The Travelway Inn. The Travelway Inn may use the services
of a third party mail house for the sole purpose of mailing materials.
Disclosure of Information and Opt-Out. The Travelway
Inn will not sell, trade, rent or release such information to entities
outside of The Travelway Inn hotel, for their use without your approval
and giving you the opportunity to opt-out.

Email Community and Opt-Out. It is our intention
to only send you e-mail communications that will be useful to you
and that you want to receive. When you join Email Community, and
provide your e-mail address, we will periodically contact you via
e-mail and provide information about Travelway Inn special offers
and promotions that may be of interest to you. We use a third party
e-mail service provider to send e-mails. This service provider is
prohibited from using your e-mail address for any purpose other
than to send Travelway Inn related e-mail. If you do not wish to
receive e-mail with updates and information please unsubscribe here.
