Use of personal information

The information collected by Tourisme Côte-Nord with user consent serves to send users paper-based or electronic documents, respond to their information requests, forward reservation, product purchase or tourism service requests to service providers, subscribe users to Tourisme Côte-Nord publications or its newsletter and compile mailing or survey lists. This information also serves to determine user habits and interests with a view to improving future service.
Disclosure of personal information

User requests may require the disclosure of personal information to service providers or sub-contractors involved in filling a request (e.g. disclosure of user's contact information to an organization handling document shipping or to an establishment where the user wishes to make a reservation).

By authorizing Tourisme Côte-Nord and its partners to send the user travel literature or a tourist newsletter, the user authorizes Tourisme Côte-Nord to transfer said user's personal information to a service provider or sub contractor for purposes other than a response to the user's request for information, a newsletter or a reservation.

Sub-contractors and service providers outside of Tourisme Côte-Nord that use personal information held by Tourisme Côte-Nord are required to sign a confidentiality agreement and may use such information solely for the purposes to which the user has consented.
