Privacy Policy

The Algoma Kinniwabi Travel Association ("AKTA") is committed to respecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website.

This page sets out our privacy policy and describes why and how we collect, use and disclose personal information which you choose to provide to us on our website. This policy doesn't apply to anyone who isn't under our control or management.  Such operators may have their own privacy policies, which might differ from ours.

What is "personal information"?

AKTA is governed by the Ontario Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. F.31, which defines "personal information" to mean recorded information about any identifiable individual, including his or her name, address, telephone number, email address, age, gender, marital status, personal views, preferences and opinions.

How will we collect personal information?

You are under no obligation to disclose any personal information to us at any time. In the survey you will be asked to give your name, e-mail address, mailing address, country, and, if living in Canada or the U.S., your postal code or zip code.

If you choose to participate, you will also have the option of providing additional information about your travel and vacation preferences and other demographic information.

Some features of the survey need some personal information to work - for example, if you want us to send you newsletters by e-mail, we would need your e-mail address. If you want us to mail you brochures or other printed information, then we would need your mailing address. If you want us to send you newsletters or e-mails that are personalized to your travel and vacation preferences, then we would need you to provide some information about those preferences.

The information you choose to give us will enable us to provide you with information, assistance and services personalized to your travel and vacation preferences, such as trip planners, customized newsletters, and electronic postcards.

How do we use and disclose personal information?

If you choose to participate, we will keep track only of the information and preferences that you choose to provide to us. We will keep that information stored securely and will only release it to the event partners.

Once your personal information reaches us, it will be stored off-line on a system not accessible over the internet. Any personal information you give us will only be used for the purpose of sending you tourism publications, newsletters and tourism notices and promotions; tourism research; for program, publication, advertising and web site evaluation and improvement; for questionnaires; and for responding to your comments or inquiries. Except for the foregoing, you will not be placed on any mailing lists. None of your personal information will ever be shared, rented, sold or otherwise released to any third party not included in the event.

From time to time we may use your personal information to create aggregate summaries of general demographic information for statistical and research purposes. We may share such summaries with providers and potential providers of tourism services in Ontario. However, such summaries will never include any personal information that could be used to identify you.

What if I want to view or update my personal information, or want you to stop using or retaining my personal information?

You may, at any time, tell us to stop using or retaining it.  If you tell us to stop using your information, we will immediately honour your instructions and delete your personal information. We may, however, retain a summary of your demographic information for research purposes. None of this summarized demographic information will be capable of identifying you.  

What if I have any questions about this Privacy Policy?

If you have any questions please contact AKTA directly at 705-254-4293 or email info@algomacountry.com.
