At The Barachois Inn, we value the trust our guests place in us. We are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information with care, transparency, and respect.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and protect personal information when you visit our website, make a reservation, contact us, stay with us, or interact with our services.
We collect only the personal information reasonably necessary to provide our accommodation, hospitality, reservation, communication, and guest services.
Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:
We do not knowingly collect more information than we need to provide our services or meet legal and business requirements.
We may use your personal information to:
By providing personal information to The Barachois Inn, making a reservation, using our website, or communicating with us, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
Where required, we will ask for your express consent, including for certain marketing communications. You may withdraw your consent at any time, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. Please note that withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain services, such as processing a reservation or responding to a guest request.
For commercial electronic messages, we follow Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation requirements, including consent, sender identification, contact information, and an unsubscribe mechanism.
When you make a reservation, your information may be collected and processed through our secure reservation system and/or payment processing providers.
Payment information is handled through secure systems designed to protect sensitive financial information. We do not sell your payment information. We only use payment-related information for purposes such as processing deposits, payments, cancellations, refunds, and resolving billing matters.
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to improve functionality, understand website traffic, measure marketing effectiveness, and enhance the guest experience.
Cookies are small files stored on your device that help websites remember certain information. You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, some website features may not function properly if cookies are disabled.
We may also use analytics or advertising tools to understand how visitors interact with our website and to improve our communications and marketing.
The Barachois Inn does not sell guest personal information.
We may share personal information only when reasonably necessary, including with:
When we work with third-party service providers, we expect them to protect personal information and use it only for the purposes for which it was provided.
Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Prince Edward Island or outside Canada. When personal information is processed in another jurisdiction, it may be subject to the laws of that jurisdiction.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information remains protected when handled by service providers.
We use reasonable physical, administrative, and technical safeguards to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.
These safeguards may include secure booking and payment systems, restricted access to guest information, staff confidentiality practices, password protection, and website security measures such as SSL encryption where appropriate.
Although we take privacy and security seriously, no method of online transmission or electronic storage is completely risk-free. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to protect the personal information in our care.
If a privacy breach occurs, we will take appropriate steps to contain, assess, and respond to the incident.
Where required by law, we will notify affected individuals and report the breach to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada if the breach creates a real risk of significant harm. PIPEDA requires organizations to report certain breaches, notify affected individuals, and keep records of breaches of security safeguards.
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, provide services, meet legal, tax, accounting, insurance, and business requirements, and resolve disputes.
When personal information is no longer required, we will securely destroy, delete, or anonymize it, where appropriate. Under PIPEDA, personal information should be retained only as long as necessary for the identified purposes.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate, complete, and up to date for the purposes for which it is used.
Guests are encouraged to contact us if their personal information changes or if they believe the information we hold is inaccurate.
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, subject to limited exceptions under applicable law.
You may also request that we correct or update your personal information if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
To make a request, please contact us using the information below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
From time to time, we may send updates, special offers, packages, or news about The Barachois Inn to guests who have provided consent or where we are otherwise permitted by law to do so.
You may unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the email or by contacting us directly.
Please note that even if you unsubscribe from marketing communications, we may still send service-related messages about existing reservations, payments, guest requests, or important operational updates.
Our website may contain links to third-party websites, including tourism partners, event websites, booking platforms, or local attractions. We are not responsible for the privacy practices, content, or security of third-party websites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

The Barachois Inn may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our business practices, technology, services, legal obligations, or regulatory requirements. The updated version will be posted on our website with a revised “Last Updated” date.
We understand that plans can change, and we aim to accommodate our guests as best we can. However, due to our size and seasonal nature, we kindly ask for your understanding and cooperation with the following terms:
No refunds will be issued for early departures once you have checked in.
We’re happy to assist with date changes if availability allows, but requests must be made at least 14 days in advance for standard bookings or 30 days for special events.
To protect your travel investment, we strongly recommend purchasing trip cancellation insurance, especially for long-lead-time or seasonal travel.
Each room cancellation affects our ability to serve other guests and impacts our small, family-run business. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making The Barachois Inn a place of exceptional experience for all who visit.
