This may include trusted service providers such as booking platforms, email or website hosting/IT support providers, payment providers (where applicable), or professional advisers. When you use third-party links or services (for example online booking or Google Maps), those providers may process your information under their own privacy terms.

We keep personal information only for as long as needed to fulfil the purposes described in this policy, including legal, tax, or regulatory requirements.
Security
How we protect your data.
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against loss, misuse, or unauthorised access. No internet transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You have rights under data protection law, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, please contact us using the details below.
Cookies and analytics
How website data may be used.
We use Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage website tags across our pages. GTM itself does not store personal information, but tags deployed through GTM may collect technical and usage data such as pages viewed, browser/device details, IP address, and interactions on the site, and may use cookies where configured. We may also use essential website functions and third-party resources (such as font or content delivery services) that process technical request data when pages load. You can manage cookies through your browser settings.
