​Our Privacy Policy

In effect August 1, 2025

The Boreal Dreams Outdoor Adventure Company is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal information when you visit our website (borealdreams.ca) or use our services, and in accordance with Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)) and other applicable privacy laws.

 

For the purposes of this policy “Personal Information” is any information that can be used directly or indirectly to identify a natural person. This includes information that, on its own or combined with other data, can link back to an individual. It's not limited to names and addresses; it can encompass a wide range of data, including financial data, that may be collected when an individual interacts with private businesses or public entities.

 

 

​

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of personal information when you use our website and interact with us as a client.

  • Identification Information (e.g., name, email address, phone number)

  • Contact Information (e.g., address, postal code)

  • Payment Information (if purchases are made)

  • Technical Data (e.g., IP address, browser type, device type, cookies)

  • Usage Data (e.g., pages visited, time spent on the site)

  • Additional Information (If you sign-up for one of our adventures we ask for additional information such as your age, health conditions, allergies, and emergency contacts. This information is collected to ensure your safety and well-being while you are with us and is not retained after you end your time with us.)

 
2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Provide and manage our services, including ensuring that we can provide you with a enjoyable and safe client experience.

  • Process client transactions

  • Communicate with you (e.g., respond to inquiries, send updates, and share with you information about existing or new services)

  • Improve website functionality and user experience

  • Comply with legal obligations

 
3. Consent

By using our site, you consent to the collection and use of your personal information as described in this policy.

We may request explicit consent for certain types of data use. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

 
4. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell or trade your personal information. We may share your information:

  • With service providers to complete financial transactions 

  • If required by law (e.g., court order)

  • To protect our rights or the safety of others

 

All third parties are required to protect your data in compliance with applicable laws, and we verify the veracity and robustness of data protection measures with all service providers with whom we do business.

​

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your user experience. You may adjust your browser settings to refuse cookies, but some features of the site may not function properly.

​

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including the use of secure servers, data encryption, and access controls.

​

We use Wix.com as our website host and financial transaction service provider. This choice was made, in part, because Wix adheres to rigorous data protection standards in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (also known as the GDPR), which was approved and adopted by the European Union (EU).

The information you share when you conduct a financial  transaction with us may be stored through Wix.com’s data storage, databases and the general Wix.com applications. They store your data on secure servers behind a firewall. 

 

All direct payment gateways offered by Wix.com and used by our company adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover. PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our company and its service providers.

​

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. This means, should you give us consent, we will retain your name and contact information to share with you by email information about our products and services.  Note however that we only retain payment information (e.g, credit card numbers or banking information) only as long as necessary to process financial transactions and do not retain or use this information for any other purpose.
