is based in Canada. Where we engage service providers whose infrastructure is located outside Canada, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in other countries, including countries that may not provide a level of data protection equivalent to that in Canada.

When we transfer personal data outside Canada, we take steps to ensure an adequate level of protection by relying on one or more of the following safeguards:

  • Contractual clauses approved or recognised under applicable Canadian privacy law that bind the recipient to appropriate data-protection standards
  • A determination that the jurisdiction provides substantially similar protection to that required under PIPEDA
  • Your explicit consent to the transfer, where required

You may request further information about the safeguards in place for any specific transfer by contacting us at info@ravessariandining.com.

7. Retention of Personal Data

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required or permitted by applicable law. The following retention principles apply.

Data category Retention period Rationale
Reservation-request and contact data (confirmed reservation) 2 years from the reservation date Operational record-keeping and responding to follow-up enquiries
Reservation-request data (no-show or cancelled before confirmation) 90 days from the date of the request Short-term operational need; no ongoing relationship established
General contact enquiries 1 year from the date of the enquiry Operational need to refer to prior correspondence
Device and technical log data Up to 13 months Security monitoring and Website performance analysis
Consent and preference records 3 years from the date the consent record was created or last updated Demonstrating compliance with consent obligations
Data subject rights correspondence 3 years from the date the request was closed Legal obligation and defence of potential claims

At the end of the applicable retention period, personal data is securely deleted or anonymised so that it can no longer be associated with you. Where deletion is not immediately possible (for example, because data is held in backup archives), we isolate it from further active processing until deletion is feasible.

8. Security of Personal Data

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. These measures are reviewed and updated periodically in light of evolving threats and best practices.

Our security measures include, without limitation:

  • Encrypted transmission of data between your browser and the Website using industry-standard transport layer security (TLS)
  • Access controls that limit access to personal data to authorised personnel who require it for a legitimate business purpose
  • Regular monitoring of systems for vulnerabilities and potential threats
  • Staff training on data-protection obligations and information security practices
  • Contractual requirements imposed on service providers to maintain equivalent security standards

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take the protection of your personal data seriously and apply proportionate safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure, please notify us immediately at info@ravessariandining.com.

In the event of a personal data breach that creates a real risk of significant harm to individuals, we will notify the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada and, where required, affected individuals, in accordance with the mandatory breach-reporting requirements under PIPEDA.
