What is the purpose of this notice?

After many years in business, Moose Travel Network has processed thousands of reservations. This notice is to share with our passengers how we handle the information we collect from you – what we hold, where it’s from, who sees it, and what we do with it. We also aim to outline your rights under data protection law in relation to our processing of your data. This data protection notice covers personal data that is collected through our website (moosenetwork.com), our in-house booking engine, and through booking engines that are integrated into third party websites. Although you should bear in mind that where you access our booking engine on a third-party website, this data protection notice only applies to information we collect through your use of the booking engine, and does not apply to data collected or held by the operator of the third-party website.

Who controls the use of your personal data?

When this data protection notice mentions “we”, “us”, “our” or “Moose” we are referring to Moose Run Adventures (2011) Ltd. This comprises the Canadian tour bus company that collects your data through reservation details, and are in charge of the processing of your personal data.

What personal data is collected?

Here’s the information that can be requested from you when you reserve one of our tours; this applies to a direct booking through our website, or through a third-party website.

  • Name
  • Address
  • Nationality
  • Email address
  • Phone number
  • Credit card number
  • Passport or identification number

Why do you use my personal data?

As you probably expect, the main reason we use your personal data is in order to process your bookings and to deal with any queries or issues that arise in relation to those bookings. We also use your personal data for other reasons, such as tailoring our confirmation emails so they are relevant to you, and monitoring your use of our websites to help us make improvements. We collect your name as an identifier, and your credit card number to guarantee the reservation. By the terms of our cancellation policy, we will need this number to charge your card if you don’t show up to your booking without letting us know at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled arrival. Similarly, you may be required to provide certain information if you want to enter into a competition, participate in a survey, or if you contact our management team with a query or complaint. We will inform you where such information is required.

Information you are required to provide

You are not obliged to provide us with any of your personal data. However, if you want to make a booking you will need to provide us with the information that is indicated as required on our reservations page at moosenetwork.com. If you don’t provide us with this information, we won’t be able to process your booking. If you book with us directly, you’ll need to give us the following information only – your name, where you are from, your travel dates and preferred room type, email address, and a credit card number and expiry date. When you book with us, you’re agreeing to receive a confirmation letter and a pre-arrival letter.
