Privacy policy

DVSVC (Discover Views, Stays & Vacation Choices) publishes independent destination, neighbourhood, airport-stay, and accommodation-choice guides for people planning travel in Canada. The website is https://dvsvc.com. Related documents are the terms of use and the cookie policy.

For privacy questions or a request about information you have sent us, write to [email protected].

The pages do not ask you to create an account and do not include a checkout. The guide finder uses the destination or topic you select only to open a published page.

If you write to [email protected], we receive the address you use and the content of the message so we can reply. Do not send payment-card numbers or account passwords to that address.

If you press Use your location on the hotels near me page, your browser may ask permission. Coordinates are used on that page to estimate distance to published city guides. The site script does not upload them to a DVSVC server. You can refuse the prompt and use the directory instead.

A guide-finder selection is used only for navigation. Location, if you allow it, is used only to sort the distance list on that visit. Email enquiries are used to respond and, where needed, to correct website information.

Technical information from hosting may be used to operate and secure the website. DVSVC does not sell personal information and does not use page views to build an advertising profile.

This site does not include a third-party analytics tag, an advertising pixel, or a chat widget. The site scripts do not write tracking cookies. Typefaces are files hosted with the site, not a separate font service.

The site’s own pages do not set advertising or analytics cookies, and the site does not show a cookie banner. The cookie policy describes this in more detail.

A hosting or security provider may set a strictly necessary cookie to deliver or protect the site, and may record IP address, browser type, date, and the page requested in ordinary connection logs. Those logs are used to operate and secure the site, not to build a marketing list.

Website hosting and related infrastructure may process connection data so the site can function. Email sent to [email protected] is carried by ordinary email providers. DVSVC does not authorize those providers, by this policy, to use a visitor’s reading of the guides for their own marketing.

Guide-finder selections and location coordinates are not stored in a DVSVC database. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle the enquiry and any follow-up.

Retention of hosting logs depends on the hosting provider. DVSVC does not publish a log-retention period that it does not control.

No website or email transmission is perfectly secure. There is no checkout on this site. Do not send account passwords or payment-card numbers through a guide page or to [email protected].

DVSVC does not sell personal information. Other websites linked from a guide have their own privacy practices, which this site does not control.

The guide is written for adults planning travel. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect information from children.

You may stop using the site at any time. You may refuse location permission and use the directory without the guide finder. Because this site does not run its own analytics cookies, there is no analytics opt-out to accept.

To ask about information you have sent to [email protected], use that same address. DVSVC has not published a telephone number or postal address.

If this policy changes, the effective date on this page will change. The version on this page is the current version.
