This information is shared with airlines, hotels, tour operators, and foreign governments, creating a complex web of data sharing that must be fully disclosed.

Canada's federal private sector privacy law, PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act), applies to commercial activities across Canada. Quebec's Law 25 (Bill 64) has introduced GDPR-like requirements for Quebec residents. Canada's Privacy Commissioner can investigate complaints, and courts can award damages for serious privacy breaches.

Data typically collected by Travel Agency businesses: passport and government ID, travel dates and itineraries, accommodation preferences, health and dietary requirements, payment information, frequent flyer numbers, visa information
A Cookie Policy is best practice for PIPEDA, even if not strictly mandated. It demonstrates transparency and builds user trust. For Travel Agency businesses using analytics or advertising tools, it is strongly recommended.
A typical Travel Agency website uses: essential session cookies, analytics cookies (Google Analytics, etc.), functional preference cookies, and marketing/advertising cookies if you run paid campaigns. Each type must be disclosed in your Cookie Policy with its purpose.
Under PIPEDA, a Cookie Policy alone is not sufficient. A consent mechanism is recommended for analytics and marketing cookies to align with global privacy best practices.
