Privacy Policy


Your personal information

We're committed to a responsible use of any personal data that we collect during your interaction with our website and any bookings you make. We do not collect or store personal data on our website. We use the following external providers as part of our service who collect personal information on our behalf.

  • Holiday Live Booking (HLB) - for handling all bookings and personal information gathered, on guests, to complete such transactions (no personal financial information is held)
  • Worldpay - for processing card payments
  • Mail Chimp - for handling mailing list subscriptions

Your personal information is never, and will never, be shared with anyone else, for any purpose, by any of the above.

Cookies

Like most websites we use cookies to deliver a smooth user experience as well as to help us better understand our visitors. Your browser will allow you to disable cookies should you wish to, though this may diminish your user experience on our site. The main areas in which cookies (small files that record interactions and which reside on your own device) are used are:

  • To gain visitor statistics through third-party application Google Analytics
  • To manage maps through third-party application Google Maps
  • Other minor functional uses such as displaying certain elements only once during an initial visit

Data retention

Our booking provider (HLB) keeps personal information (excluding bank/credit card details) to allow for a record of guests to help us understand trends and improve our service. Through HLB, our automatic data-retention policy is:

  • Personal booking information is maintained indefinitely for returning guests, until such time as 10 years has passed without activity. After this period of inactivity (e.g. the guest has never re-booked), the personal data will be deleted and they will be removed from our mailing list

Marketing

We maintain, in line with GDPR rules, an 'opt-in' policy for marketing. You will only receive emails should you have clearly chosen to do so via either verbal or written confirmation with us, or a clear indication through our site signup form or during booking. When marketing via email newsletters etc., we utilise a list that is managed by industry leaders MailChimp, and you can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any email marketing communication. If you wish for us to do this for you and confirm your removal, feel that you are receiving unwanted emails, or simply wish to update us on any changes to your subscription details (email address etc.) please contact enq@tyddyn-iolyn.co.uk.

Further information and help

For any further information on the above, or any queries on issues or subjects not covered here, please contact enq@tyddyn-iolyn.co.uk and we will be pleased to help.
