Privacy Policy

The Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) was enacted on January 1, 2001 to ensure all Canadian's basic right to privacy. PIPEDA applies to every business in Canada and covers the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information about identifiable individuals.

​

At Dream Hunter Vacations, we require the disclosure of personal information, in order for us to process your requests for travel products and services.  As a result, we may have to exchange that information with third party suppliers.   Please know that understand the importance of protecting the information that you have placed in our trust. 

​

 In order to plan and/or purchase a travel product or service on your behalf, some basic personal information is required. This may include:

​

  • Name, Title, Gender

  • Address

  • Phone number

  • Email address

  • Emergency contact information

  • Credit card number, expiration date and cvv code on reverse

  • Citizenship, Immigration status, Passport details

  • Date of Birth

  • Frequent flyer information, meal & seats preferences


Dream Hunter Vacations will collect your name and contact information (telephone number and email address), when a quote request is made.  In order to process this request and subsequently complete a reservation, additional information is collected about each member of the traveling party.  Full legal name, gender and title are required by the suppliers, in order to comply with Federal travel regulations such as those stipulated by the airlines.  An address/email is required to bind contracts as well as send proof of purchase.  Phone and email contacts are required for communication during the purchase process as well as following the sale, in the case of schedule changes, disrupted travel, emergency and post-travel follow-up.  Credit card details are required for settlement of purchases.  Citizenship and Immigration status is required by the Travel Industry Act (TICO) to ensure travellers are advised of correct travel documentation.  Place of birth, nationality, age, passport details are also required by airlines to comply with the Canadian Transportation Act (CTA) regulations and governments for visas and travel documents.  Dates of birth are required for the purchase of travel insurance, and airline tickets.  Additional personal information such as frequent flyer numbers, are required in order to relay that information to collect personal rewards.

​

Personal information collected is passed onto third party suppliers, such as airlines, cruise lines, and hotels, in order to secure a reservation.  The information collected can vary, depending on the type of travel booked.  Reservations cannot be made without this information.  Please note that with Dream Hunter Vacations acting as the agent during this process with the third party supplier, you are then also a client of the third party supplier.  As such, your personal information is therefore covered by that third party supplier’s privacy policy, over which Dream Hunter Vacations has no control over.  We send the minimum required personal information to the third party supplies and do not sell any data, whether individually or in bulk.
