Privacy and Cookie Policy

This is the privacy notice of travelresortmaps.com. We respect your privacy fully and take its protection very seriously.

In this document, “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to travelresortmaps.com. Our privacy policy sets out how we use and protect any information you give us when you use this website, in line with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) requirements, which became enforceable on May 25, 2018. Data protection is a high priority, and we are committed to protecting your privacy.

We aim to be open and transparent with our site visitors to comply fully with the new GDPR data protection and privacy standards.

Data Collection and Usage:

The GDPR was designed to harmonize European data privacy laws, protect and empower all EU residents’ data privacy, and reshape how regional organizations approach data privacy.

The GDPR applies to information that could directly or indirectly identify an individual. This includes names, addresses, phone numbers, date of birth, IP addresses, cookies, device information, advertising identifiers, financial information, geo-location information, social media information, and consumer preferences.

We take the protection of your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. We understand that all visitors to our website are entitled to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party.

We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our website.

We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of all information you provide and hope you reciprocate.

Our policy has been drawn up to comply with UK law and accordingly implemented, including that required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data Collection:

The main method we would ever have collected any personally identifiable information is if you voluntarily choose to contact us via the site email address or the contact form.

If we ask you to provide certain information by which you can be identified when using this website, such as when you submit our site contact form, you can be assured that this privacy statement will only be it.

The only personally identifiable information we collect during the process is your name, email address, IP address, and optional phone number if you voluntarily contact us via our site contact form. Some of this information will also be collected if you contact us via a direct email address on our site. Any information you provide is used solely to deal with your specific inquiry or request for information from us. Email inquiries will be answered using the address given but will not be stored or used for other mailing purposes.

Storage and Security:

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We have security measures to protect our paper and computer systems and databases against unauthorized use, loss, or damage. We store data only for as long as necessary and according to our retention policy.

The server that hosts this website has the appropriate security safeguards to protect any data we hold about you.

Links to External Sites:

This website contains links to other sites. Please be aware we are not responsible for the privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our site users to read the privacy statements of any other site they visit after leaving our site to establish if they collect any personally identifiable information. Our privacy statement applies solely to information collected by this site.

Affiliate Disclosure:

This site partners with many UK stores and their associated marketing networks. We regularly display product descriptions and images from these stores containing affiliate links on our site.

When a visitor to our site clicks a product link from one of our affiliate partners, a harmless third-party cookie is placed on your computer when you visit the retailer. If you then go on to buy something, the cookie identifies you as having come from our site, and the retailer may reward us with a commission for these sales.

If you choose to use one of these links to buy a product or find out more information about a product, one of our partner merchants or affiliate marketing networks may drop a cookie to track visits and sales. We don’t follow you from this cookie; any information is anonymous.

Once you have left this site using these affiliate links, you should note that we have no control over the advertiser, retailer, or intermediary’s website. We are not responsible for the privacy or cookie policy.

Amazon Affiliation:

The owner of this site is a participant in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk.

As an Amazon Associate, the owner of this website earns from qualifying purchases. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Google Adsense:

Sometimes, we may display advertisements from Google’s Adsense service on this site. In line with requirements to comply with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have ensured that Google will show only non-personalized advertising to our site users from the European Economic Area (EEA).

To protect the privacy of EEA visitors to this site, we have deactivated the feature that enables Google to show them personalized advertising based on information gained about a user’s interests from previous online browsing and search habits.

You can read more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We may also sometimes use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google. No data that personally identifies an individual (such as a name, email address, or billing information) is tracked, collected, or uploaded. You can read more about Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=uk.

Cookies:

What are Cookies?

A cookie is a harmless small text file placed on your computer by a website to store and transmit information. They are often used on a site to provide visitors with a better browsing experience.

Cookies may be either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. The website owner uses first-party cookies, and third-party cookies are used by a third party, such as an advertising partner or social networking service.

First-Party Cookies

First-party cookies refer to cookies created by the domain that a web user is visiting directly. By default, first-party cookies are allowed in all web browsers.

A consumer who sets their browser to reject first-party cookies is likely to find it difficult to browse online because many sites require them to gain access to content. They are commonly used to enhance the functionality of a site.

Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies are created by other parties, not by the website you are visiting itself.

This site may produce links to the websites of various UK stores – some of these sites will set cookies on your device. We strongly urge you to read all the relevant information on their sites regarding their cookies and privacy policy.

Any third-party cookies we use allow our partner stores and businesses to know you arrived at their site from ours.

We sometimes use social media buttons to easily share pages and post them to social networks like Facebook or Twitter. These are likely to set third-party cookies on your device.

The privacy implications of this will vary from social network to social network and will be dependent on the privacy settings you have chosen on these networks.

If you are concerned about third-party cookies generated by advertisers, you can visit the Your Online Choices website at www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/, which allows you to turn these off.

Security and Storage of Information:

We take the security of your personal information seriously. We have security measures to protect our paper and computer systems and databases against unauthorized use, loss, or damage. We store data only for as long as necessary and by our retention policy.

The server that hosts this website has the appropriate security safeguards to protect any data we hold about you.

Use of Site by Children:

We do not sell products or provide services for purchase by children, nor do we market to children.

If you are under 18, you may use our website only with consent from a parent or guardian.

If you are a parent or guardian and know your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately. Suppose we become aware that we have collected personal data from children without verifying parental consent. In that case, we take steps to remove that information from our servers as a matter of urgency.

How to Make a Complaint:

To exercise all relevant rights, queries, or complaints regarding the GDPR and personal data, please, in the first instance, contact us at the contact details provided earlier in this privacy policy. If we cannot resolve your issue or complaint satisfactorily, you have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at www.ico.org.uk/.
