Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 3, 2025

We're committed to keeping your info safe while you enjoy our forest sanctuary

Welcome to Our Privacy Policy

Look, we get it - nobody actually enjoys reading these things. But here at Lumirion Hollow, we're real people who care about your privacy just as much as we care about giving you an amazing forest retreat experience.

This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you're booking a stay, visiting our website, or enjoying any of our services at 1847 Hollow Ridge Trail in beautiful Tofino, BC. We've tried to keep it straightforward and honest, without all that legal mumbo-jumbo (well, mostly).

By using our services or website, you're agreeing to this privacy policy. If something doesn't sit right with you, feel free to reach out - we're happy to chat about it over the phone at (250) 555-0847.

What Information We Collect

Personal Details You Give Us

When you're booking a room or signing up for one of our wellness retreats, we'll need some basics like:

  • Your name, email address, and phone number
  • Billing and payment info (credit card details, etc.)
  • Home address and postal code
  • Special requests or dietary needs (we wanna make sure you're comfortable!)
  • Emergency contact information for longer stays
Info We Collect Automatically

Like most websites these days, we automatically gather some technical stuff:

  • IP address and browser type
  • Device info and operating system
  • Pages you visit on our site and how long you hang out
  • Referral sources (how'd you find us?)
  • Cookies and similar tracking technologies
During Your Stay

While you're here enjoying the hot springs and forest trails, we might collect:

  • Feedback and reviews you share with us
  • Photos you agree to let us use for marketing (always with permission!)
  • Preferences for future visits (room type, pillow firmness, that kinda thing)
  • Health & wellness info if you're joining our spa or meditation programs

How We Use Your Information

We're not in the business of selling your data or bombarding you with spam. Here's what we actually do with your info:

Processing Reservations

Confirming your booking, handling payments, and sending you confirmation emails

Customer Service

Responding to questions, handling special requests, and solving any issues

Improving Our Services

Understanding what guests love (and what needs work) to make your next stay even better

Marketing Communications

Sending you occasional updates about special offers (you can opt out anytime)

Safety & Security

Protecting against fraud, ensuring guest safety, and meeting legal requirements

Personalization

Remembering your preferences so we can tailor your experience

Who We Share Your Data With

We keep your info pretty close to the chest, but there are a few situations where we need to share it:

Service Providers

Payment processors, booking systems, email services - basically the tech that keeps things running smoothly. They're all bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Business Partners

Sometimes we work with local tour operators or wellness practitioners to enhance your experience. We only share what's necessary.

Legal Requirements

If the law requires it or to protect our rights and safety, we might need to disclose info to authorities or legal counsel.

Business Transfers

In the unlikely event we sell or merge the business, your data would transfer to the new owners (but they'd still have to follow this policy).

Important: We will never sell your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. That's just not how we roll.

Cookies & Tracking Tech

Cookies aren't just delicious treats - they're also tiny files that help our website work better. Here's the lowdown:

Types of Cookies We Use:
  • Essential Cookies: Can't run the site without 'em. They handle basic functions like your booking cart and login sessions.
  • Performance Cookies: Help us understand how folks use the site so we can make it better.
  • Functionality Cookies: Remember your preferences (like if you prefer the dark mode or specific language).
  • Marketing Cookies: Track your visit across websites to show you relevant ads. You can totally opt out of these.

Most browsers let you control cookies through settings. Just heads up - if you disable essential cookies, some parts of our site might not work properly.

Third-Party Analytics: We use services like Google Analytics to understand visitor patterns. These services have their own privacy policies.

How We Protect Your Data

We take security seriously around here. After all, we're protecting your personal info the same way we protect our ancient forest surroundings - with care and respect.

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted

Secure Servers

We use industry-standard firewalls and security protocols

Access Controls

Only authorized staff can access your personal information

Regular Updates

We continuously update our security measures to stay ahead of threats

That said, no system is 100% foolproof. While we do everything we can to protect your data, we can't guarantee absolute security. If you notice anything suspicious, let us know right away.

International Guests & Data Transfers

We're based in Canada, but we welcome guests from all over the world. If you're visiting us from outside Canada, here's what you should know:

Your personal information might be transferred to, stored, and processed in Canada or other countries where our service providers operate. These countries may have different data protection laws than your home country.

By using our services, you're acknowledging that your data might be transferred internationally. We'll always ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information, regardless of where it's processed.

For EU/UK Visitors: We comply with applicable data protection regulations including GDPR principles. If you're a European resident, you have additional rights under GDPR, and we're happy to accommodate those.

Children's Privacy

Our services aren't directed at kids under 13, and we don't knowingly collect personal information from children without parental consent.

If you're a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please reach out. We'll delete it from our systems promptly.

For families booking stays with children, we only collect info about minors
