1. Information we collect and how we use it

We collect and use your personal data, website usage data and other information provided for our legitimate interests so that we can make our services available to you, provide services you request, administer the services and suggest similar services to you that you may be interested in.
We do not believe that our collection and use of your personal information for these purposes will unduly prejudice your rights and freedoms.

  • Information collected on your visit to our site
    We automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information when you visit our site such as the type of browser you are using, the type of operating system you are using, and the domain name of your Internet service, your IP address. This enables us to review site usage, e.g. information on which pages are more popular than others, which allows us to improve the design and content of our site.
  • Information collected when you contact us
    We collect personally identifiable information about you, e.g. your name, address, telephone number, email, etc., only when you choose to complete an online form or if you contact us directly. This information enables us to:

     

    • use the personally identifiable information you provide to us when you contact us directly to respond to your specific inquiry or to administer the relevant site activity to which it relates e.g. to supply information, quotes or services you have requested
    • contact you with relevant information about changes and enhancements to the service as well as additional resources and  suggestions to improve your experience of our services
    • contact you with marketing material on products and services that may interest you where you have opted in to receive this material; you may opt out of these communications at any time.
  • Information collected when you post on our sites
    You should be aware that you may be making available personally identifiable information about yourself when you submit material to be posted to the site e.g. for forums or other interactive elements of the site.

6. Cookies

  • A cookie is a text-only string of information that a website transfers to the cookie file of the browser on a user’s computer hard disk so that the website can remember who the user is. A cookie will typically contain the name of the domain from which the cookie has come, the “lifetime” of the cookie, and a value, usually a randomly generated unique number.
  • When you visit our site we send you a cookie. Cookies may be used in the following ways:
    • To enable personalisation features on our site, which give you the ability to recall recently viewed pages and see information which you have provided online.
    • To compile anonymous, aggregated statistics that allow us to understand how users use our site and to help us improve the structure of our site. We cannot identify you personally in this way.
    • Two types of cookies may be used on this site, session cookies, which are temporary cookies that remain in the cookie file of your browser until you leave the site, and persistent cookies, which remain in the cookie file of your browser for much longer, though how long will depend on the lifetime of the specific cookie.
  • You have the ability to accept or decline cookies by modifying the settings in your browser. You may not, however, be able to use all the interactive features of our site if cookies are disabled.

7. Third party services

  • We use a number of third party services to track website usage and site performance. Please note that third parties (including, for example, providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
  • You can block cookies by activating the setting on your browser that allows you to refuse the setting of all or some cookies. However, if you use your browser settings to block all cookies (including essential cookies) you may not be able to access all or parts of our site.

 

8. How long we keep your personal data

  • We retain personal information for as long as it is needed to provide access to the website or to manage your bookings with us. We take reasonable steps to delete the personal information we collect two years after your booking is complete. We will delete your personal data if you opt out of receiving further communications from us or if you ask us to delete your information. We may however retain and use personal information to comply with our legal obligations, to resolve disputes and to enforce our agreements.
  • We may retain and use anonymous and aggregated information for performance reporting, benchmarking and analytic purposes and for product and service improvement.
