They will only process personal data on our instructions, and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
7.2 We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify the individuals involved and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8 DATA RETENTION
8.1 We will only retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
8.2 To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of the personal data, the purposes for which we process the personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
8.3 We will generally retain our customers’ data for a period of 7 (seven) years after the contract to which is applied has ended, to ensure that we are able to assist should they have any questions or feedback in relation to our services or to protect, or defend, our legal rights, or for tax purposes.
8.4 Where we have processed personal data to provide you with marketing communications, we may contact you to ensure you are happy to continue receiving such communications. If you tell us that you no longer wish to receive such communications, your personal data will be removed from our marketing lists (but will be added to a “do not contact” list).
8.5 Where we have processed personal data for any other reason (such as where you have contacted us with a question in connection with our campsite but have not made a reservation), we will retain your data for twelve (12) months.
8.6 In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see section 9.1.3 below for further information.
8.7 In some circumstances we may anonymise personal data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.
9 YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
9.1 Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You may have the right to:
9.1.1 Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables individuals to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about them and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
9.1.2 Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables individuals to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about them corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data they provide to us.
9.1.3 Request erasure of your personal data. This enables individuals to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Individuals also have the right to ask us to delete or remove their personal data where they have successfully exercised their right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed their information unlawfully or where we are required to erase their personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with an individual’s request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to them, if applicable, at the time of their request.
9.1.4 Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. Individuals also have the right to object where we are processing their personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process an individual’s information which override their rights and freedoms.
9.1.5 Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables individuals to ask us to suspend the processing of their personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if they want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but they do not want us to erase it; (c) where they need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as they need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) they have objected to our use of their data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
9.1.6 Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to individuals, or a third party they have chosen, their personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which they initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with the individual.
9.1.7 Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before the individual withdrew their consent. If an individual withdraws their consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to them. We will advise the individual if this is the case at the time, they withdraw their consent.
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us directly.
Individuals have the right to make a complaint at any time to the ICO, the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with concerns before you approach the ICO so please contact us in the first instance.
