  • To process and confirm reservations made through our Reservation Form.
  • To monitor and analyze Site performance via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager in order to improve our Site and user experience.

We do not use the information for marketing or newsletter purposes unless explicitly stated or requested by you.

3. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to third parties, except in the following cases:

  • Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager: We use these tools to track and analyze website traffic. Google may collect data such as IP addresses, browser types, and other usage data as outlined in their own privacy policies.
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).

4. Data Retention

We currently do not have a specific plan to delete the data we collect. We retain personal information indefinitely or until it is no longer necessary for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you would like to request the deletion of your personal information, please see the “Your Choices and Rights” section below.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use only Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. These services may deploy cookies or other tracking technologies to collect data about how users interact with the Site. This data is used exclusively to improve our Site’s performance and user experience.

For more details on how Google uses this data, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy. (Note: You may want to provide a link to Google’s policy on your actual site.)

6. Children’s Privacy

The Site is not intended for use by minors. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under the relevant age threshold in your jurisdiction). If we become aware that a child under this age has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to remove such information from our records as soon as possible.

7. Security Measures

We implement reasonable security measures to protect your personal information, including storing collected data behind an administrative login on our WordPress platform and forwarding form submissions to our email inbox. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

  • Cookie Management: You can usually set your browser to refuse cookies or alert you when cookies are being sent. However, refusing cookies may impact the functionality of the Site.
