Your privacy and the General Data Protection Regulation

Our business is very small and we think that our activities meet or exceed the provisions of the GDPR regulations. To avoid doubt:

•  We do not manipulate or process data in any way, and we do not share it with anyone.

•  We do not hold ANY confidential information about anyone.

•  We have to retain basic details of all our customers on our invoice system for accountancy purposes; also (for our holiday lets) we maintain a very basic digital "card index".

•  We receive the e-mail address of any person who contacts us, but this is not shared or sold.

•  We very occasionally e-mail previous self-catering guests with information, perhaps twice a year.

•  We will remove entries from the e-mailed circulation list upon request (but please note that the address in question might rejoin the list after a subsequent reservation).

•  Where online sales are by PayPal, they are secured by that company. Our self-catering guests nearly always use online banking servuces (BACS).

•  We no longer handle credit-card transactions by telephone or mail, due to an unsatisfsactory telephone landline.

•  Any details that we hold about any individual will happily be supplied to that individual upon request.

•  We build and maintain our own websites and we certainly do not have any way of tracking visitors to those sites or obtaining any sort of personal information. We have used a basic web-traffic analysis service, but it only tells us how many people have visited a site in a given period and how long they spent there, without any further detail.

•  If you think that this list fails to meet any particular GDPR provision, we will be very happy to be notified so that we can correct the omission.

Our activities are totally transparent. If you would like any additional clarification, please get in touch.

Thank you - Kevin and Christa Byrne
