Information that we collect from you

When you use this site you may submit information to us through our on-line booking enquiry form or brochure request form. We may also collect information about you from messages you post to the website, e-mails or letters you send to us and from any credit checks we carry out.

Use of your information

We will hold your information securely and use it only in compliance with the applicable current data protection laws. We will use your information to provide you with the products and any information that you have requested. We may also use and analyse the information we collect so that we can administer, support, improve and develop our business

Disclosure of your information

The only parties to whom we may disclose your information are as follows:

• The proprietors of the properties in respect of which you have submitted a booking request
• Our employees who process the information for the purposes for which you have made it available to us
• Our suppliers, partners, advisers and auditors who may have incidental or necessary access to your information in the process of providing services to us

Unless required to do so by law, we will not otherwise share, sell or distribute any of the information you provide to us without your consent.

Transfers of Data

Although information that you submit to us by email or through on-line booking enquiry service on this website may, incidentally in the course of transmission, be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) we will not otherwise transfer your information outside the EEA. This is because the laws protecting information outside the EEA may be less protective than those within the EEA where data protection laws are harmonised.
