Privacy Policy

Introduction

The Bramble Patch (we” or “us”) values its visitors’ privacy. This privacy policy summarises what information we might collect and what we will and will not do with it.

Please note that this privacy policy does not govern the collection and use of information by companies that The Bramble Patch does not control, nor by individuals not employed or managed by The Bramble Patch. 

What we do with your personally identifiable information

“Personally identifiable information” means information that can be used to identify you as an individual, such as, for example:

· your name, email address and phone number

· any account-preference information you provide us

· your computer’s domain name and IP address, indicating where your computer is located on the Internet

· session data for your login session, so that our computer can ‘talk’ to yours while you are logged in

If you do provide personally identifiable information to us we will:

· not sell or rent it to a third party — although unless you opt out, we may use your contact information to provide you with information we believe you need to know or may find useful, such as (for example) news about our services and products.

· take commercially reasonable precautions to protect the information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction;

· not use or disclose the information except:

· as necessary to provide services or products you have ordered

· in other ways described in this privacy policy or to which you have otherwise consented;

· in the aggregate with other information in such a way so that your identity cannot reasonably be determined (for example, statistical compilations);

· as required by law, for example, in response to a subpoena or search warrant;

· to outside auditors who have agreed to keep the information confidential;

· as necessary to protect the rights, safety, or property of The Bramble Patch, its users, or others; this may include (for example) exchanging information with other organizations for fraud protection and/or risk reduction.

The personally identifiable information supplied when making a booking is held by and the booking system called Bookwhen. Bookwhen’s privacy policy can be found here. 

Other information we collect

We may collect other information that cannot be readily used to identify you, such as (for example) the domain name and IP address of your computer. We may use this information, individually or in the aggregate, for technical administration of our Web site(s); research and development; customer- and account administration; and to help us focus our marketing efforts more precisely.

If you set up your Web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or Firefox) so that cookies are not allowed, you might not be able to use some or all of the features of our Web site(s).
