Data handling overview
This section outlines the categories of personal information we may process, where that information comes from, the types of cookies used on the site, and the controls available to you.
Depending on how you use the site, we may process your name, email address, phone number if you provide it, inquiry message, tour date and group details, and any accessibility or dietary information you choose to share. We also process limited technical data such as server request metadata and browser or device information to keep the site functioning and secure.
We receive data when you submit a contact or booking request, communicate with us by email or phone, or use the website in a way that generates technical records. Some information is provided voluntarily, such as accessibility or dietary details, while other information is created automatically by the systems that deliver and protect the site.
Confirmed cookie uses are limited to essential site operation and privacy preferences. We do not confirm analytics or marketing cookies as active on this website. Any cookie that is used is intended to support basic functionality, maintain your selected settings, or help the site operate reliably.
The website uses cookies for essential site operation and to remember privacy preferences. You can control cookies through your browser settings, and you may also clear stored preferences from your device. If cookies are disabled, some parts of the site may not work as intended.
We use personal data to answer inquiries, review date and group details, confirm routes, arrange booking payment, carry out equipment and weather checks, provide guided walks, and share location recommendations. We also use data to operate the website, maintain security, and keep records needed for administration and compliance.
We may share personal data with service providers that support website hosting, technical delivery, security, or communication handling. These recipients may process data only for the services they provide to us and are expected to handle it under appropriate confidentiality and security obligations.
We may disclose personal data to public authorities, courts, or other parties when required by law, to comply with a lawful request, or to protect our rights, users, or operations. Any such disclosure is limited to what is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose.
You may ask us to confirm whether we hold personal data about you, to correct inaccurate information, to delete data that is no longer needed, or to object to certain processing where that right applies. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request, and some requests may be limited by legal or operational requirements.
To exercise a privacy right, send a clear request through one of the contact channels listed in this policy and describe the data or activity involved. We will review the request, confirm whether any exceptions apply, and respond within a reasonable period under applicable law.
We retain personal data for as long as needed to respond to inquiries, manage bookings, provide the requested service, maintain security, meet accounting or recordkeeping duties, and resolve disputes. When data is no longer needed for those purposes, we delete it or anonymize it unless a legal obligation requires continued storage.
If we make material changes, we will update the policy on the website and use a reasonable method to draw attention to the revised version when appropriate. The effective date should be read together with the current version of the policy, and older versions may be retained for internal reference.
Use the contact channel that best matches the nature of your request, and include enough detail for us to identify the relevant record.
