2. What information do we collect and where do we get it from? 

So we can provide our services to you, and manage these services, we will ask you to share your personal information with us. The circumstances in which we use your information, the reasons why we ask for it and details of how we will use it are explained in section 3 of this notice. The information we collect about you varies, depending on your particular circumstances and requirements and may include, for example: 

* General information about you, such as your name, address, contact details.

* Financial details, such as your bank account and card details.

* Information about your use of our website such as your IP address, which is a unique number identifying your computer

We may collect personal information from the following sources: 

* You or someone connected to you as part of a booking or enquiry.

* Publically available sources of information, such as social media and networking sites.

* Accommodation booking websites if you have requested information about availability or a booking with us.

If you have given us information about someone else, you will have confirmed that you have the consent of these individuals to share their personal information with us. You should share this privacy notice with all individuals whose personal information you have shared with us, as it may also apply to them. 

3. Why do we collect this information and how will we use it? 

We and/or our carefully selected third parties may collect and use your personal information under the following circumstances or for the following reasons:

a) To provide you services relating to a booking enquiry and/or booking such as:

* The price for accommodation

* Provide you with a booking contract

* So we can send you an invoice for your stay

* Arrangements for check in and check out

The collection and use of information such as your name, address, age, who would like to stay, is necessary to provide you with a quotation and/or booking contract. Without this information, we will be unable to assess your request. Our assessment of your booking request may involve an automated decision to determine whether we are able to provide you with a booking contract and/or the price. The decisions involve the use of systems, such as our price rating and availability tools, and are dependent on the information you provide us, e.g. postcode, to produce a result as to whether we are able to provide a quotation and/or what the relevant price for your booking will be. If you object to an automated decision that is required to determine your booking, then we will be unable to provide you with a booking contract. 

b) Where we have a justifiable reason, such as: 

* Keeping records about you and our correspondence with you as well as your current and past bookings. This is so that we can appropriately and effectively manage our relationship with you as well as satisfy any legal and regulatory obligations. 

* Preventing and detecting fraud, financial crime and anti-money laundering. We may use your personal information to prevent fraud and in doing so may:

* Collect personal information about you from databases as described in this notice and from publically available sources, such as social media and networking sites

* Share your personal information with fraud prevention agencies. Your personal information will be checked with and recorded by a fraud prevention agency. If false or inaccurate information is provided and fraud is identified, details will be passed to the fraud prevention agency. This information will be accessed and used by us, law enforcement agencies and other organisations to prevent fraud and money laundering, e.g. when managing credit and credit related accounts or facilities; recording debt; checking details on our payment portals and credit/debit card providers. The information we share may be used by those companies when making decisions about you. 

* Provide sales information to third parties, such as booking websites which you may have used to book with us, so that we can fulfil our contractual responsibilities to them.

* Carrying out processes, such as statistical and trend research and analysis, which may include computerised processes which profile you. This is to better understand, predict and forecast our customer's or prospective customer's preferences and to improve the products and services we offer. 

For more information about how we communicate our products and services, please refer to section 4 of this notice.

We may anonymise and combine the information you have given us to understand more about you, create new products and services as well as helping us with our marketing.   

Recording and monitoring calls for training purposes, to improve the quality of our service, to help us deal with queries or complaints from you and to prevent and detect fraud and financial crime. We may also use CCTV recording equipment in and around our premises for monitoring and security purposes.

c) You have given us your permission:

* To use your sensitive personal information in order to provide you with a quotation, price and/or the services set out in your booking contract and terms and conditions, e.g. making reasonable adjustments as a result of a disability you have told us about.

We may use cookies and/or pixel tags on some pages of our website. A cookie is a small text file sent to your computer. A pixel tag is an invisible tag placed on certain pages of our website, but not on your computer. Pixel tags usually work together with cookies to help us to give you a more tailored service.

However, refusing to accept cookies may restrict your use of our website and/or delay or affect the way in which our website operates. See our cookie policy for more information. 

The open nature of the internet is such that data may flow over networks without security measures, and may be accessed and used by people other than those for whom the data is intended.

7. Use and storage of your information overseas. 

The personal information we and our carefully selected third parties collect from you may be transferred to, stored and processed outside the European Economic Area (EEA). We or our service providers may use cloud based computer systems, e.g. network of remote servers hosted on the internet which process and store your information to which foreign law enforcement agencies may have the power to require access. We will not transfer your information outside the EEA unless it is to a country our information regulator has assessed as having adequate data protection laws, or we have taken all reasonable steps to ensure the company has the necessary privacy and security controls in place to protect your information as if it were in the EEA. Our contracts with these companies will detail the necessary requirements to ensure your information is protected. We will assess these companies’ security arrangements from time to time, ensuring they are only using your information as agreed. If you would like more information about the safeguards we have in place, please contact us using the details outlined in section 1 of this notice. 

8. How will we deal with others acting on your behalf? 

To help manage your booking, we will deal with individuals you nominate, including third parties we reasonably believe to be acting on your behalf, providing they are able to answer our security questions.
