Why do we collect your data?
The primary purpose for collecting and storing your data is to improve your user and customer experience. By storing your data, we are able to conduct regular audits, maintain quality control, enforce strict regulations, assess staff performance, and assess future staff training. By collecting your information, we are able to customise your use of our site and your experience of our brand to suit your unique interests and preferences.
We collect your data when you book with us to fulfil your booking request. We require information such as name, names of family members, email, home address, and telephone number so that we can contact you and share information with you in the lead up to your trip. It also allows us to provide fast and efficient support should any issues arise.
The collection of data is important to our marketing team. We may use your contact information to ask you to take part in feedback and market research. We may use your previous visits to our site and interactions with us to advertise our products to you on third-party websites. We may use your contact details to send you promotional materials we think would be valuable or interesting to you, such as promotions and offers, travel updates, and new products. If you do not wish to be contacted, please opt-out of campaigns or contact us directly to remove yourself from our mailing list.
Third parties
In order for our bookings to function correctly, we need to share your data with other parties such as the chalet owners and operators. We only share the information necessary to complete your booking. Because we are a travel business, it is likely that some of your data could be moved or shared in a different country from where we received this data. There is a chance that data could be shared outside of the European Economic Area, which does not have the same regulations and approaches to data protection.
Sometimes we may work with external data experts to better understand the information we have collected and how we can use it to support customer experience and site function. This could include cleaning of old and irrelevant data, or analysis of our existing data. We only work with reputable data experts and protect all data we share with them by non-disclosure agreements. They have a legal obligation to delete any data we provide them after their time working for us is terminated.
Any links on our site to third parties are not controlled by this privacy policy. We have no rights to dictate how third-party sites use your data. If you are concerned about your data protections on third-party websites, you should check their privacy policy on arrival.
