What we do with your information

We will always be clear about why we need the details we ask for, and ensure your personal information is kept as secure as possible.

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in the following ways:

The Data Protection Act - Credit & Debit Cards

Under the Data Protection Act, we have a legal duty to protect any information we collect from you. To that end we currently only store information provided by you on the form that you complete when you make a booking with us. This information is for the sole use of ‘The Breverton’ and will not be passed on to any third party. We are obliged by law to keep detailed records of all persons who stop with us.

Currently we have no computer database of clients information only paper registration documents required by law. Any credit or debit card details supplied by telephone are not recorded and used only for payment validation through our card  terminal. Cheque numbers and details are kept to comply with requirements of  HMRC tax returns.

What is a cookie and why are they used by us?

Cookies are small files of letters or numbers downloaded on to a device when users access websites. They are widely used in order to make websites work, or work more efficiently, as well as to provide service information to the owners of the site. Cookies can be grouped into three categories: “session”, “persistent” and “first and third party”

Session cookies (Temporary)

These are temporary cookie files, which are erased when you close your browser. When you restart your website browser and go back to the site that created the cookie, the website will not recognise you.

Persistent cookies (Permanent)

These files stay in one of your website browser's subfolders until you delete them manually or your browser deletes them based on the duration period contained within the persistent cookie's file.

First and Third Party cookies

Whether a cookie is ‘first’ or ‘third’ party refers to the website or domain placing the cookie. First party cookies are cookies set by a website visited by the user. Third-party cookies are created by a website other than the one you are currently visiting; for example, the Google analytics cookies placed on this website are third party which measure how many website visitors we receive.

Misconceptions

Cookies are not spyware or viruses and they can't read information from a computer. Neither are cookies the source for pop-ups or spam. They cannot be executed as code and are therefore incapable of transmitting computer viruses.

What if I refuse cookies?

Refusing all cookies will affect your web experience and may result in some parts of the website not functioning properly.

There are also optional links within our site to professional agencies and holiday advisory sites for your convenience so you may check our credentials and reputation. There are also links and contact details for a selection of entertainments and holiday related concerns. No data is passed by us to any of these.

As noted our website does contain links to other websites of interest. However, once you have used these links to leave our site, you should note that we do not have any control over that other website.
