What data we collect and why
We only collect the data we need to answer you and to organise your stay or activity.
- Booking and contact forms: name, email address, phone number, dates, number of guests and your message. We use them to answer your request, prepare your booking and contact you about it.
- WhatsApp and SMS: your phone number, your name if you share it, and the content of your messages. We use them to answer you and manage your booking.
- Comments and community posts: the name, email address and content you submit, plus your IP address and browser information to help detect spam. Comments and community posts may be visible to the public.
- Community member accounts: the account details you provide (such as username, email address and profile information) and the content you post. We use them to run your account and the community area.
- Website statistics and advertising: information about how you use the site (pages visited, device, approximate location, how you arrived on the site). We use it to understand and improve the website and to measure our ads. This depends on your cookie choices.
- Security: IP addresses and login attempts, to protect the website against abuse.
Legal basis
We process your data on the following grounds:

Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies. When you first visit the site, a cookie banner lets you accept or refuse non-essential cookies, such as statistics and advertising cookies. You can change your choice at any time through the cookie banner or cookie settings link on the site.

- Backups: backups are kept for up to 30 days and then overwritten.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including a secure HTTPS connection, login protection and regular backups. No website can be completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
