Questions?

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask for corrections where it is inaccurate or incomplete, and raise a concern about how it has been handled. In some cases, we may decline a request where the law permits or requires us to do so, or where we need the information for legitimate business or legal reasons.

Available rights depend on the nature of the information and the applicable law.

To make a privacy request, provide enough detail for us to identify the relevant information and assess the request. We may ask for additional information to verify identity or clarify the scope of the request. If a request is refused in whole or in part, we will explain the reason where appropriate.

Requests are reviewed before action is taken to confirm identity and scope.

We retain personal information for the period reasonably necessary to manage enquiries, bookings, payments, customer service, operational records, and legal or accounting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it, unless retention is required by law or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

Records are kept only for as long as needed for the relevant purpose or legal obligation.

The updated version will apply from the date it is published unless a later effective date is stated. Where a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to make it known through the website or other suitable communication channels. Continued use of the website after an update means the revised policy will apply to that use.

We may revise this policy when our practices, systems, or legal obligations change.
01 · Purpose

How We Use Information

We process personal information to respond to enquiries, manage bookings, confirm dates and group details, collect dietary information within the required timeframe, coordinate meeting-point arrangements, process payments, deliver guided tasting walks, provide customer support, maintain business records, improve website performance, and meet legal, accounting, and security obligations.

We use personal information only where there is a practical business or legal reason to do so.
02 · Sharing

Service Providers

We may share personal information with payment processors, website hosting and technical support providers, booking and communications tools, and other contractors who assist us in operating the business. Where we engage third parties, we expect them to handle information only for the relevant service and to apply appropriate safeguards.

Operational service providers receive only the information needed to perform their role.
01 · Collection

Information We Collect

We may collect identification and contact details, booking and payment information, dietary preferences or restrictions, group size and date preferences, meeting-point and attendance details, communication records, and limited technical data such as device or browser information. Where relevant to a booking, we may also process information you choose to provide about accessibility needs or other route-related requirements.

The information collected depends on booking, enquiry, and tour participation activities.
02 · Sources

How We Collect Information

We collect personal data from website requests, email, telephone enquiries, booking and payment interactions, and information supplied during tour coordination or check-in. We may also receive limited information from service providers involved in payment processing or booking administration, and we may generate internal records from your use of our website and services.

Most information is provided directly by the person making the enquiry or booking.
