OUR PRIVACY POLICY

​

INTRODUCTION

Our Privacy Policy explains in detail the types of personal data we may collect about you when you interact with us. It also explains how we’ll store and handle that data, and keep it safe.

We know that there’s a lot of information here, but we really value your trust and it's important to us that you have all the information you need about your rights and how Cawthorne Cat Hotel uses your data.

We've tried our best to make sure that the information in this policy as easy to understand as possible but if you have any questions at all, please do get in touch with us.

​

THE LEGAL BITS

You may have heard of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European Union (EU) privacy law affecting businesses around the world from May 25th 2018. This law on data protection sets out a number of different reasons for which a company may collect and process your personal data, including:

1. Consent: Collecting and processing your personal data for a specific purpose with your consent. For example, when you tick a box to receive email newsletters.

2. Contractual Obligations: Using personal data to meet a contractual obligation. For example, when you make a booking, we’ll collect address details for our booking system.

3. Legal Compliance: Passing on data because the law requires us to do so. For example, we could pass on the details of someone involved in fraud to the police.

4. Legitimate interest: Collecting data to explore our legitimate interests. We'd always do this in a way which might reasonably be expected as part of running our business and which does not impact your rights, freedom or interests. For example, we collect data about how our website is used to help us improve customer experience.
