Information we collect from you
When you make a booking with us we collect the names of the guest booking, home address, email address and telephone number. This contractual data is held securely in our property management system. We also collect a debit or credit card number to take the deposit/payment for your stay. This data is encrypted and Card details are securely deleted within 72 hours of your departure.
If you email us direct, emails are kept securely for a maximum of one year and then securely deleted, unless required by law. When you message us via our website contact form, the contents are entered on a secure page and then encrypted before being sent to us, and a copy sent to the email address you gave us, securely.
If you submit a review on our website, we ask for your name and email. This is so we can identify you have stayed with us. When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form. We may also collect the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://en.gravatar.com/support/
