Your name, as you provide it

In addition, if you accept optional cookies, analytics and advertising tools may collect non-identifying usage data such as:

2. Legal basis for processing
We process personal data on the following legal grounds:

— where you have explicitly agreed to the use of optional cookies for analytics, advertising, or personalisation.
-
—
— where we are required by applicable law to retain certain records.
3. How we use your data
Personal data submitted through the contact form is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, where applicable, to arrange the walk or service you have expressed interest in. We do not use contact form submissions for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
Analytics data is used in aggregate to understand how visitors use this website and to make improvements to the content and navigation. This data is not used to identify individual users.
Where advertising cookies are accepted, this data may be used to show relevant content or advertisements on third-party platforms. This is described in more detail in our Advertising Disclosure.
4. Data sharing with third parties
We do not sell personal data to any third party. Data may be shared in the following limited circumstances:
-
—
With analytics providers such as Google Analytics, where you have consented to analytics cookies. These providers process data under their own privacy policies and in accordance with applicable data protection law.
-
—
With advertising platforms, where you have consented to advertising cookies, for the purpose of displaying relevant content.
-
—
With authorities, if required to do so by law or a valid legal order.
5. Data protection measures
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include:
-
—
Transmission of data over encrypted connections (HTTPS)
-
—
Limiting access to personal data to those who need it to handle your enquiry
-
—
Retaining contact form data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was provided
In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify the relevant authority and, where required, inform you directly without undue delay.
6. Retention periods
Contact form submissions are retained for as long as they remain relevant to the enquiry or booking arrangement, after which they are deleted. Cookie-based data follows the retention periods set by each respective platform or expires when the cookie itself expires. You may request deletion at any time by contacting us.
7. Your rights
You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
If data we hold is inaccurate or incomplete, you may ask us to correct it.
You may ask us to delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations to retain it.
Where applicable, you may request that we provide your data in a portable format.
You may object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing and processing based on legitimate interest.
Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time — including by adjusting cookie settings in the Cookie Policy.
