Corporate Stays is dedicated to protecting your privacy and personally identifiable information. We respect your privacy, and we responsibly use our customer’s information. We are committed to adhering to the principles of applicable data protection and privacy laws.

As of May 2018, Corporate Stays has updated its Privacy Policy to include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR is a comprehensive European Union (EU) data protection law that will strengthen the protection of the individual’s right to personal data protection, reflecting the nature of data protection as a fundamental right for the European Union. The GDPR applies to organizations that collect and process the personal data of individuals in the EU for their purposes.
The following Privacy Statement outlines the information we collect, our methods of using it, and how handling it will enhance your experience on our websites and services.

The type of personal information that we collect may include your name, home, work, and email addresses, telephone and fax numbers, credit card information, gender, date of birth, and other information necessary to fulfill special requests (including, but not limited to room preferences and health conditions that require special rental accommodations.)

Corporate Stays may also collect non-personally identifiable information about you, such as the purpose of using our website, communication preferences, travel habits, aggregated data relative to your rental stay, and responses to promotional rental offers and surveys.

You may be offered the choice to refrain from submitting your personal information or deciding what communications and notifications you want to receive from us. However, doing so may cause certain transactions to become affected. For example, failure to provide your name will prevent the processing of rental reservations.

Corporate Stays will never sell your information to third parties or allow its use in any manner except to ensure the business relationship you wish to establish with us.

We may offer you the option to decline any or all of these communications by following the directions in our emails or other communications or by contacting Corporate Stays directly.

Corporate Stays strives to keep all our customers and visitors informed and equally able to take advantage of the benefits offered by Corporate Stays and its strategic marketing partners. However, if you reside outside of Canada, specific data privacy regulations may require us to obtain your permission before sending you the information you have yet to request.
In some cases, your permission will be implied from the nature of the service requested or transaction undertaken. For example, Corporate Stays may collect and use the personal information you volunteer, behavioral data, or information collected in the aggregate. In addition, your permission will be deemed given for communications from us necessary to fulfill your requested transactions and services.

The nature of our business and our operations may require us to transfer your information, including personal information, to other group companies, properties, centers of operations, data centers, partners, or service providers in countries outside your own. Although these countries’ data protection and other laws may not be as comprehensive as those in your country, Corporate Stays will take appropriate steps to ensure your personal information is protected and handled as described in this Privacy Statement.

It is Corporate Stays’ intent and one of our missions to keep your personal information accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used. You can help us ensure that your contact information and preferences are correct and complete: 

You can contact us with the request to correct, update, delete, or deactivate it by email, telephone, or postal mail at the contact information listed below.

To anticipate your rental and other needs, Corporate Stays provides links to other websites for your convenience and information. Corporate Stays is not responsible or liable for any content presented by or contained within any independent website, including, but not limited to, any advertising claims or marketing practices. Please note that while Corporate Stays will protect your information on Corporate Stays owned and operated websites, we cannot control and will not be responsible for the privacy policies of third party websites, including sites owned or controlled by independent franchisees or third-party owners of residential properties that may use the name of Corporate Stays brand, or websites not managed or authorized by Corporate Stays. Third-party websites accessed through links on our websites have separate privacy, data collection practices, and security measures. We have no responsibility or liability for the practices, policies, and security measures implemented by third parties on their websites. We recommend that you review the privacy statements and policies of linked websites to understand how those websites collect, use, and store personal and other information.

Some Corporate Stays sites may use a reputable third party to present or serve the advertisements you see on its web pages. These third-party ad servers may use cookies, web beacons, clear gifs, or similar technologies to help present such advertisements and to help measure and research the advertisements’ effectiveness. These third-party ad servers’ use of these technologies is subject to their privacy policies and not covered by our privacy policy.

If you are located in the EEA, you are entitled to contact us via the contact details in this policy and ask us for an overview of your personal information or a copy. In addition, you may request us to update and correct inaccuracies, delete your personal information, restrict the processing of your personal information, or exercise your right to data portability and quickly transfer your personal information to another company. In some cases, you may object to processing your personal information, and where we have asked you for your consent to process your personal information, you can withdraw it at any time. We always enjoy hearing from our customers and appreciate their business. Should you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to the supervisory authority of your residence, place of work, or where the incident occurred.

Because we’re constantly developing and improving the standards of rental and other services we provide to you, this policy may change over time. We will post the new policy online and change the “Last Updated” date. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices. If any modifications materially alter your rights, we will provide notice on the site or notify you by email.
