Privacy Policy

Last updated: 18 April 2026

At Cottage in the Wolds, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal data you share with us. This policy explains how we handle the information collected through our booking inquiry form.

1. Information we collect

When you fill out our contact form to inquire about a stay, we collect the following:

  • Identity data: full name.
  • Contact data: email address and phone number.
  • Stay details: requested arrival and checkout dates, number of adults, children, and pets, and the ages of any children.

2. How we use your information

We use this information strictly for business purposes related to your stay:

  • To respond to your booking inquiry.
  • To confirm availability for your requested dates.
  • To send you essential check-in details or updates regarding your reservation.

We do not use this information for unrelated marketing unless you explicitly opt in.

3. Data retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

4. Third-party sharing

We do not sell your data. We only share your information with third parties when necessary to run our business, such as:

  • Hosting providers: our website and email service providers.
  • Legal authorities: only if required by law to comply with legal obligations.

5. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Request that we correct or delete your information.
  • Withdraw your consent for us to contact you.

6. Security

We implement standard security measures to ensure your data is protected from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

7. Cookies and similar technologies

We use small amounts of data stored on your device to run and protect the site. Your choice for optional analytics is stored in your browser as local storage (key citw-cookie-consent-v1) so we remember it on later visits. It is not sent to our servers automatically; it only controls whether we load Vercel Web Analytics. Essential use includes security features such as Google reCAPTCHA on the contact form and embedded maps where applicable.

You can change your mind anytime using Cookie settings in the footer, which clears that preference and shows the banner again.
