On your return from holiday we may email you a satisfaction survey or request a review. This gives us specific feedback on your stay and data that allows us to monitor the quality of our stays.

HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Our legal basis for the processing of personal data is our legitimate business interests, described in more detail below, although we will also rely on contract, legal obligation and consent for specific uses of data.

We will rely on legal obligation if we are legally required to hold information about you to fulfil our legal obligations. We will in some circumstances rely on consent for particular uses of your data and you will be asked for your express consent if legally required.

With respect to marketing, if you have previously engaged with us for the provision of services and we are marketing other related services we will take your consent as given unless or until you opt out.

You have the right to opt out of receiving marketing materials from us in any circumstances and at any time by contacting us. Please note that where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you. In this case, we may have to cancel a product or service you have with us.
