laws on privacy and data protection in the areas in which we operate. This
Privacy Policy will help you understand the nature of the personal information
collected by Lethbridge Lodging Association, how the information is used and
with whom the information may be shared.
We

this posting. Please check this Privacy Policy periodically for changes. Your

databases to such information management service providers but requires these
information management service providers to sign confidentiality agreements to
keep all confidential information and other proprietary information found in
our systems confidential. (TRUE)
