PRIVACY POLICY

Parc Omega Inc. is committed to respecting the privacy of its customers and guests (“you” and “your”). The Parc Omega Inc. Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) applies to personal information that Parc Omega Inc collects online, in person, through its call centres or otherwise.

“Personal Information” is information associated with an identifiable individual or household. Personal Information does not include information about a company or anonymous aggregated information that cannot be associated with a particular individual.

This Policy does not apply to information relating to Parc Omega Inc employees or information other than personal information.

THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT AND HOW IT IS USED

Parc Omega Inc collects Personal Information as part of its activities as a tourism complex. We use this information to provide you with the best possible quality of service and to meet reasonable business needs.

>(a) We collect your Personal Information when you purchase a ticket or when you book accommodation.

When you purchase a product or service, make a reservation, or register for a program, we collect Personal Information to complete the transaction and administer the purchase or program. We may also send you information about your purchase, booking or program. For example, if you make a reservation at one of our centres, we may send you information about the activities, events or offers taking place at the resort during your visit. The information we may collect and use for these purposes includes, but is not limited to:

  • Your name and contact information to identify and communicate with you.
  • Your payment card information to process transactions related to the purchase of park access tickets or accommodation reservations.
  • Your age and/or date of birth to ensure appropriate product pricing and to learn more about who benefits from our products and services
  • Your gender to verify your identity, provide appropriate services, such as equipment rentals, and learn more about the people who benefit from our products and services
  • Your medical information, such as allergies or a health condition that we need to know if you have dietary restrictions
  • Your status as a parent or guardian of a minor guest, if applicable.
  • Experience preferences (such as the type of room you prefer)
  • Your geographical location in order to locate the participants of the ski school or other guests who have chosen to use the mountain tracking technology, including our applications that offer this tracking, during their stay on our mountains;
  • Your transaction history to manage your purchases and bookings and to learn more about how you interact with our products.
  • In some cases, you may provide us with Personal Information about a family member or other individual. When you provide us with Personal Information about an individual other than yourself, you represent that you have the consent of that individual to disclose their Personal Information for the purposes described in this Policy.

> (b) We collect your Personal Information when you visit our park, book accommodation, use our tickets, and download and use our web and mobile applications (the “Apps”).

When you purchase or use our Omega Park tickets, we may collect information about your geographic location, activities and purchases while you are at Omega Park. Our tickets use hand scanner technology. By using this technology, we may be able to collect limited information about your location in the centre and, if a payment card is associated with your ticket, other commercial transactions that you perform in one of our stores, accommodation, or restaurants. We use this information to understand how our guests use our centres and your personal preferences.

Depending on your marketing preferences, we may also use your Personal Information to send you offers, invitations and promotions related to our centres, products, services or programs that, we think you might be interested. For example, we may monitor your business transactions or browsing habits on our websites or centres, which may determine the types of special offers and personalized promotions we send you.

In addition, if you book accommodations, this privacy policy will apply to this transaction.

We also have an App that can be downloaded to your mobile device. Downloading, installing and using our App will give you convenient access to the wonderful experiences offered by our Nature Park, including the possibility to purchase tickets and book accommodation, to track and share your performance, create a profile, and receive notifications in the application (collectively, the “Application Services”). If you access our application, we may be able to collect your Personal Information, including your geographic location, activities, and purchase history. We may also associate the information collected because of your use of the Application with your customer profile, including your ticket and/or accommodation data.

The Apps automatically collect detailed location and navigation information in the form of GPS signals from the mobile device on which you have installed and activated the App (“App Location Information”). When you open, use or interact with the Application Services, we use the Application Location Information (e.g., latitude and longitude) to customize the Application Services experience based on your current location. We also use your Application Location Information to provide you with certain Application Services, including to send you notifications of other relevant information. If the “Background Locator” feature is enabled, the Applications may, from time to time, tell us the location of your device, even if you do not interact directly with the Application. We may use various technologies to determine your App Location Information, such as the location services of the operating system in question, GPS, Bluetooth, i-Beacon, RFID and data from the sensor of your devices, in addition to nearby Wi-Fi hotspots and cell towers, and other technologies to determine the approximate location of your mobile devices.

If you do not want the Applications to track your Location Information, you must disable the Application Location Information tracking feature in the Application settings menu. If you disable the Application’s Location Information feature, some of the features of the Application and the Application Services may not be provided without the use of this standard technology.

We store and save archives of such data on servers to provide these functions, and protect our rights and property with respect to our Application Services, and you acknowledge and agree to the backup of such data.

It is possible that some of our resorts use video surveillance systems to ensure the safety of our guests, employees, and our facility. We will keep the video recordings for as long as is reasonably necessary for those purposes.

> (c) We collect your personal information when you submit a request for information, complete a guest survey or provide feedback

We may collect your name, contact information, comments, or questions when you submit a request or comment, or otherwise provide us with feedback on our business. We may also collect information about your experience in one of our mountain destinations or the use of our products or services as part of a customer satisfaction survey. These surveys may include optional questions about your income, or your gender that, if answered, help us learn more about our customers and how we can improve our business and public engagement in snow sports. We may use this information to answer your question and to improve our business, products, services and programs.

> (d) We collect your personal information when you participate in a marketing initiative or create an online account

If you choose to create an online profile, we may collect your name, contact information, age, gender, date of birth, personal image, username and password, and any other information you choose to reveal to us (such as your preferences).

We may also collect your name, contact information and age or date of birth if you decide to participate in a marketing initiative such as a contest, lottery, or other promotion. In some cases, we may ask you specific questions to find out your preferences or to get your feedback on our company, products, services, and programs. We use this information to administer the promotion, including communicating with winners and announcing the identity of winners (if applicable), to improve our business, products, services, and programs, and for marketing initiatives, such as offers or promotions relating to Omega Park and its accommodations, products, services or programs, which we believe may be of interest to you, based on your marketing preferences.

> (e) We collect your Personal Information when you call our call centre, or when we call you

We could record incoming and outgoing calls from our call centres for accurate record keeping, quality assurance and training. We will retain the recordings of calls for as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes.

> (f) We collect your Personal Information from third parties
