Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We have legal obligations to keep your personal data supplied safe. We will tell you how we will use your information and we will collect it fairly.
Your booking information is held securely on our third party, GDPR compliant booking system. The owners of the booking system have security in place to ensure data is kept safe at all times.
Information you provide to us will not be shared with third parties without your knowledge. We use the information to provide holiday services to you under our contractual obligation and to provide you with the best possible service. We may also use it to improve our products and services.
Limited information about your booking will be shared with our management team and our booking partners, where necessary.
If you have consented to receive email marketing communications from us we will periodically send you emails which include offers, new products and holiday inspiration ideas that we think will be of interest to you. You are welcome to unsubscribe from our email communications by using the unsubscribe button at the bottom of each email or email us at escape@llainfran.co.uk. We will always ask for your explicit permission to send you direct marketing communications.
Payment transactions are carried out through independent third parties and governed by third party terms and conditions. We do not store or process credit card details. Llainfran Holidays uses Freetobook for our online bookings and Worldpay for telephone and card payments.
If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
How long we retain your data
