clear searchThis document (our “Privacy Policy”) sets out information into how we use personal information relating to people we interact with including, for example, customers and site users. It serves as an expression of our commitment to protecting your personal information. It is important that you read this Privacy Policy together with any other privacy notices we may provide you on all occasions of personal information collection and processing, so you are fully aware of how and why we are using your data. This Privacy Policy supplements other notices and is not intended to override them.
By using our websites, providing any personal data to us, or booking any travel services with us, you confirm that you agree to and consent to the terms of this document, to the extent that your consent is required by any applicable law.
This is the Privacy Policy of TRAFALGAR TOURS OF CANADA LIMITED. We are incorporated under the laws of Ontario, Canada. Our incorporation number is 0229915 and our incorporation address or registered office is 33 Kern Road, Toronto, Ontario, CANADA M3B 1S9. We are a member of TICO (Wholesale Registration # 1583987, Retail Registration # 50015870), ACTA, and CATO.
We will collect, use and disclose (‘process’) your personal information in accordance with applicable Canadian laws and applicable contractual obligations. More specifically, we will not process your personal information unless at least one of the following requirements is met:
• You have given consent to the processing of your personal information for one or more specific purposes (for instance, for tailored offers to your interests, for sharing of your photos/videos of experiences of our trips on social media and sharing emails of co passengers, that have agreed to stay in touch);
• The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party (for instance, for booking you have made) or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (for instance, when you request a quote from us);
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (for instance, for visa applications);
• Processing is necessary in order to protect your vital interests or of any other individual (for instance, if you have any issue during a trip); and
• Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party (i.e., protecting our customers, our employees and other individuals and maintaining their safety, health and welfare; promoting, marketing and advertising our products and services; understanding our customers’ behaviour, activities, preferences, and needs; improving existing products and services and developing new products and services; preventing, investigating and detecting crime, fraud or anti-social behaviour and prosecuting offenders, including working with law enforcement agencies; handling customer contacts, queries, complaints or disputes; managing insurance claims by customers; protecting us, our employees and customers, by taking appropriate legal action against parties who have committed criminal acts or are in breach of legal obligations to us; effectively handling any legal claims or regulatory enforcement actions taken against us; fulfilling our duties to our customers, colleagues, shareholders and other stakeholders).
We will only use your personal information for the purpose for which we obtained it. If we reasonably need to re-purpose your personal information, we will ensure it is for a reason that is compatible with the original purpose. If you require an explanation as to how the processing for the new purpose is compatible with the original purpose, please contact us. We may process your personal information for unrelated purposes, based on legitimate interest.
• There are some circumstances in which personal information may be processed for purposes that go beyond the original purpose for which the personal information was collected. When this is susceptible to be the case, we will make our best efforts to tell you in advance and request your consent when appropriate.
• For circumstances where we may have other secondary purposes, for processing already existing data which you have provided as part of a contract for example, booking information. The objective of further processing may include conducting marketing insights and data analysis to have a better understanding of our customers.
• We will adopt an aggregate data model that allows us to derive aggregated data from your personal information. Aggregated data is not considered personal information by law, as you will not be directly or indirectly identified. For example, we may make use of aggregated data to see performance statistics of our travel consortia/consultants and to gain insights into customer demographics for improving marketing and customer service.
• However, if we combine or connect aggregated data with your personal information so that it directly or indirectly identifies you, we shall treat the combined data as personal information which will be processed as required under applicable Canadian laws.

We maintain administrative, technical and physical safeguards (appropriate to the sensitivity of such information) designed to protect against unauthorized use, disclosure or access of the personal information we collect on this website.

Please do not include sensitive personal information in any e-mails you may send to us, including payment card information.
We also encourage you to be careful about who you give personal information to. We never contact you to ask you for sensitive personal information, such as payment card information, or sensitive personal information such as passport numbers or log-in details, and we will only ask you for such information in person or through our website, or by telephone in connection with a booking you are making or have made.
