Privacy & Security

We are committed to ensuring that all your personal information that we collect is kept private and protected. We'll make sure that our website is absolutely secure in the collection and use of your personal information.

You also have complete control over the information stored about you and what types of information, if any, you'd like to receive. Sometimes you may be asked to provide proof of identity before we show you your personal information - that's so we can prevent unauthorised access.

adequate, relevant and not excessive for those purposes
accurate and kept up to date – inaccurate data must be destroyed or altered on request

not transferred to countries outside the EU that do not have adequate protection.

Getting to know you

When purchasing an experience online

Here the information we will ask you for includes your name, contact details such as phone and e mail, and credit card details. We need all this information to process your order and so that we can contact you if we need more information or have any queries about your order. This information will not be given to any third party, except to the extent and for the purpose we may be required to do so by any law.

Why we're interested

We may wish to contact you from time to time with details of special offers, promotions, competitions, and information about our products and services. If you want all of this, please tick the box when registering with us. We won't use your details for direct marketing without your consent.

Third parties and/or other companies may also wish to contact you from time to time with information they believe may be of interest to you. If you wish to receive such communications then please tick the box when registering with us.

You always have the right to object, at any time, to your personal data being used for direct marketing purposes by us or by third parties and other companies. Just let us know.

Your personal information

Your personal information will not be transferred to other companies without your consent, except:

as required by law
if you've requested specific information

If you give us your consent by ticking the box when you register with us, then we may share your personal data with other companies so that they may contact you with any information they believe may be of interest to you. Or, we may send you details of goods, services, promotions and offers provided by other companies which we think may interest you.

We may use your personal data in order to analyse our customer base, and statistical information may be shared with third parties and other companies - but we'll keep it anonymous.

We will never rent or sell our customer lists to any other organisation or individual. Customer lists may be used to process customer information and research customer's needs and preferences.

Outside the EU

You should be aware that countries outside the European Union may have a lower standard of protection for personal information than that required by the Data Protection Act 1998. If it is necessary to transfer your data to a company based outside the EU (e.g. for the purpose of completing a contract for your benefit) then we'll make every effort to ensure that your personal data is processed in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, as implementing the EU Directive on the Protection of Personal Data (95/46/EC), and any other Act or Acts replacing or modifying such Act for the time being in force, through the implementation of an agreement ensuring adequate protection of your personal data.

Safe and sure

Our website has security installed to ensure that any personal data entered onto the site is protected against loss, misuse or alteration.

However, due to the nature of the Internet, we can't guarantee the protection of your personal information and we can't be responsible for any outcomes resulting from a breach of security when the website is used.

We're confident in our security, and it is always a top priority to ensure we do not get any problems.
