Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 19, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Trappers Cottage at Atwood Island ("we", "us", "our") handles the information you provide when you visit this website or contact us about a cottage stay. We are a small family-run cottage located in the Killarney area of Ontario, Canada.

Information We Collect

When you fill out a form on this website, you may provide:

• Name
• Email address
• Phone number
• Preferred reservation or travel date
• Message or inquiry details
• Any additional information you voluntarily include in your message

Our website may also receive basic technical information that is standard for any website visit, such as your IP address, browser type, and device information, which hosting services typically log for security and diagnostic purposes.

We do not collect payment card information through this website.

How We Collect Information

We collect information directly from you when you use a contact or reservation-inquiry form on this website, or when you email or call us using the contact details we provide.

Why We Use Your Information

We use the information you share with us to:

• Respond to your questions
• Discuss cottage availability
• Coordinate a possible reservation
• Communicate with you about your inquiry
• Operate and secure the website
• Meet applicable legal obligations

Submitting a form does not by itself confirm a reservation.

Consent

By submitting a form on this website you consent to us using the information you provide to respond to your inquiry as described in this Policy. Every inquiry form asks you to confirm this consent before submission.

How Information Is Shared

We do not sell your personal information.

We may share your information only with service providers that help us host the website, deliver form submissions, send or receive email, or maintain and secure the website, and where we are required to do so by law.

Form Submission and Storage

Inquiry forms on this website are configured to open your own email application with a pre-filled message addressed to us. When you complete and send that message, the information reaches us as ordinary email and may remain in our email account for as long as we are handling your inquiry or possible reservation. This website does not store form submissions in a database.

Third-Party Services

This website uses standard web hosting. When you visit the site or interact with embedded content, information such as your IP address and browser details may be processed by these providers as part of ordinary website operation. Any third-party service we use has its own privacy practices, which apply to information they receive.

Google Maps

Some pages embed Google Maps. When a page containing an embedded map loads, or when you interact with the map, Google may receive technical information about your visit. Google's handling of that information is governed by Google's own privacy policy, available at policies.google.com/privacy.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

This website does not set advertising or tracking cookies of its own. Your browser may still store standard technical data required for a webpage to function, and embedded third-party services (such as Google Maps) may use their own cookies or similar technologies under their own policies.

International Processing

Because the internet is global, information you send us may be transmitted or stored in Canada, the United States, or other countries where our service providers operate.

Retention

We keep the information you send us only as long as is reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry, manage a possible reservation, maintain required business records, and meet legal obligations.

Safeguards

We use reasonable measures to protect the information you share with us. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Accessing or Correcting Your Information

You may contact us to ask whether we hold information about you, to request access to it, to ask us to correct it, or to ask us to delete it where legally permitted.

Withdrawing Consent

You may withdraw your consent to our use of your information at any time by contacting us. Withdrawing consent may mean we can no longer respond to an active inquiry or reservation discussion.

Children's Privacy

This website is intended for adults planning cottage stays and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page.
